i hope the new iphones keep lightning for at least one more version cuz i A) need to upgrade mine and B) have a real expensive flir camera that uses lightning

the thing i read said that the model they release in sept or whatever will be lightning, but that usb-c iphones will be coming out in 2023. idk if that's for all iphones or just some, though

I don’t think anyone outside of apple knows that far in advance

instead of a dual port phone I would expect a $30 adapter

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

usb-c is only faster than lightning, it's worse in every other respect. it's thicker, less durable, harder to clean, and way more prone to breaking or loosening ports. just like so many things though there's an inescapable crush of people that stampede towards mediocrity

I thought the same thing when I sold my 2018 (had a 16 before that) for a used 2015 around early 2019, was trying to save money.
despite it being palpably slower it was leaps beyond a better experience.
