"W00T, THE BARE MINIMUM, TAKE THAT GOOGLE" *Apple fans, still stuck, like, in 2017
What really blows my mind is not that the lower-end models have USB2.0 speeds, but that all iPhones always have in the past.
Lighting truly was ancient.
Apple actually upgraded Lightning to USB 3.0 speeds for the first (and second?) generation iPad Pro. There's a official USB 3 "camera adapter" (essentially a Lightning to USB-A + Lightning passthrough for charging dongle) that works with these iPads at 3.0 speeds.
That was a very short run though, I don't even think Apple ever released a Lightning to USB-A/C cable with 3.0 speeds.
Neat I didn't know that
Of course the top comment is some "Apple vs. Google" garbage.
I don't think having a desire to elevate the level of discussion beyond, "Haha fuck you Apple!" and rather focus on the technology and its ramifications qualifies as bitter fanboy-ism.
I can't say that I've seen any comment like this where the user wasn't being sarcastic.
Are you a robot?
I hope not, otherwise I have been charging myself the wrong way for decades!
It says “bot” next to your username for me in the Lemmy app. I think that’s why they asked lol. Beep boop
