It's sort of annoying since Apple is the only company that's still making a smaller high performance smart phone.

loquacius posted:I remember when they invented the USB connector and the micro USB connector and those both worked fine for years, is that the same thing The older USB connectors were very bad from a mechanical perspective and also some of the horrible made in china cables would use the wrong resistance which could burn out the charging device. All the above problems got fixed with the never USB-C standard.

Well the nice thing about USB-C is it's a reversible connector similar to the Lightning connector. Also the default Apple lightning cables have the classic Apple weakness of getting easily damaged around the connector due to bending or how a small kink eventually can cause the cable jacket peel off. Best option is to buy a more durable cable like Ankler powerline cables

thathonkey posted:seconding anker. their charging stuff is great and lasts longer/works just as good as the apple ones The cable design is really good, more durable jacket and handles bending much better without getting the dreaded Apple cable damage problems.  etalian fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Sep 10, 2016 |

Germstore posted:Thinness is still a selling point and at this point they are fighting over tenth of a millimeter. 7.3 mm vs 7.5 mm may not matter in practice, but god help whoever green lit the wireless charging if the new Samsung is 7.4 mm. It's also one of the bigger reasons why they had to design out the headphone jack.

Dreddout posted:I got my first anker about a two months ago and it's great! For half the price of some poo poo at target I get a usb that doesn't break within a month of moderately heavy usage! The powerline cables are more expensive than options such as Amazon certified cables but you can often find them online for much less than the ~$20 price.

Durzel posted:Surely the whole appeal thing is going to be spun out indefinitely until everyone involved in the original sentence (?) has died, or it fades from the public consciousness and just quietly disappears? Yes it basically allows Ireland to run out the clock, at least being a tax haven for a few more years while the appeals process goes through in the EU judical system.

Serrath posted:Serious question, do American phone plans not offer steep discounts on iphones when you sign up for new contracts? I get a new phone every couple of years on my basic plan, I think I pay about $5 over the monthly cost of the plan for handset repayments and it comes with whatever phone happens to be the latest one. The iPhone release schedule seems to coincide with my contract expiring so I get a new phone every two years. And the $5 is because I wanted a plus instead of the basic phone. US phone companies have changed the contract system over the last year or so to give away less free goodies.

They always have some dumb bullshit that's wrong with the regular numbered version that gets worked out with the S model. Also Iphone 6s prices will go down since the new phone is out and nerds no longer will feel that their old phone is adequate.
