a win; we no longer need to lug around different cables, even those of us who live exclusively within Apple\u2019s ecosystem. In that sense, Apple\u2019s switch has been a harmonious success. The number of Lightning-sporting accessories is on a downward trajectory, and the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook all play nicely (mostly) with the same USB-C accessories and cables that you can use with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-android-phones-568001\/\">Android phones<\/a>, PCs, and basically every other gadget. Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><q>We no longer need to lug around different cables to charge our phones. Mission accomplished?! Not so fast.<\/q><\/p>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>The move to USB-C has a few other upsides for iPhone owners. The entire iPhone 15 series debuted DisplayPort support, allowing owners to mirror their display to an external monitor with up to a 4K resolution. While not the most important change, it\u2019s a boon for video playback, quickly slapping up a presentation, and even leveraging the platform\u2019s latest gaming capabilities on a big screen. However, this hasn\u2019t become a core reason to buy an iPhone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Pro-level owners also benefit from blazing fast 10Gbps data speeds over USB-C, eclipsing what was possible over Lightning. That\u2019s a must-have upgrade if you\u2019re shooting RAW photos or video using Apple\u2019s ProRes and Cinematic Video modes. If you need to get data off your iPhone quickly, you can \u2014 provided you bring your own cable. Again, though, this is a rarely advertised feature that quite a lot of iPhone customers probably won\u2019t even know about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>And what it\u2019s done wrong<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div

The one port, unknown capabilities problem is just as bad in Apple\u2019s ecosystem as it is elsewhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B c_dk\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th\/>\n<th>iPhone 15\/16<\/th>\n<th>iPhone 15\/16 Plus<\/th>\n<th>iPhone 15\/16 Pro<\/th>\n<th>iPhone 15\/16 Pro Max<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">\n<p>Connector<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB-C<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Plus<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB-C<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Pro<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB-C<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Pro Max<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB-C<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">\n<p>Data speed<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB 2.0<br \/>480Mbps<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Plus<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB 2.0<br \/>480Mbps<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Pro<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB 3.1 Gen 2&#215;1<br \/>10Gbps<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Pro Max<\/span><\/p>\n<p>USB 3.1 Gen 2&#215;1<br \/>10Gbps<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\">\n<p>Charging Power<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16<\/span><\/p>\n<p>20W<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Plus<\/span><\/p>\n<p>20W<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Pro<\/span><\/p>\n<p>20W (~25W recorded)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"\"><span class=\"c_ck\">iPhone 15\/16 Pro Max<\/span><\/p>\n<p>20W (~25W recorded)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Worse, even where they are supported on the Pro models, you\u2019ll need to buy a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-usb-type-c-cables-682801\/\">top-of-the-line USB-C cable<\/a> to take advantage of these capabilities.

Talk about cheaping out and confusing consumers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Apple has also failed to embrace faster charging with the move to USB-C. It has long used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/usb-power-delivery-806266\/\">USB Power Delivery<\/a> specification, but it has not embraced the more flexible, faster capabilities of USB PD PPS. While the Pro models seem to go past Apple\u2019s previously advertised 20W level, you\u2019re still capped at under 30W from even the biggest Pro Max phone, which takes well over an hour (closer to 90 minutes) to fill. Talk about slow. Apple seems far more interested in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-magsafe-accessories-3082635\/\">MagSafe<\/a> \u2014 which sees a boost to 25W charging over the air with the iPhone 16 series \u2014 than traditional wired charging, likely because there are extra profits in the accessories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e\">\n<div class=\"c_gh c_2n\">\n<h3 class=\"c_5n\">Has the iPhone done a better job with USB-C than Android?<\/h3>\n<p>234 votes<\/p>\n<div class=\"c_7n c_ih\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"c_8n\"><\/p>\n<p>Android is typically better<\/p>\n<p>73<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"c_8n\"><\/p>\n<p>iPhone is better<\/p>\n<p>5<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"c_8n\"><\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re about the same<\/p>\n<p>22<!-- -->%<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>A year of missed opportunities<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"c_f\">\n<div class=\"c_9p\" style=\"max-width:1920px\"><picture class=\"c_jg\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;aspect-ratio:1920 \/ 1080\"><source sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack.jpg.webp 1920w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-1536w-864h.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-675w-380h.jpg.webp 675w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-64w-36h.jpg.webp 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-1000w-563h.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-300w-170h.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-1280w-720h.jpg.webp 1280w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-840w-472h.jpg.webp 840w\" type=\"image\/webp\"\/><img class=\"c_kg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"ipad air sidecar slack\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-1536w-864h.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-675w-380h.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-64w-36h.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-1000w-563h.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-300w-170h.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-1280w-720h.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack-840w-472h.jpg 840w\" alt=\"ipad air sidecar slack\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/ipad-air-sidecar-slack.jpg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"c_Rr c_-p\">\n<p>Ryan Haines \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Thankfully, Apple hasn\u2019t failed with its USB-C rollout \u2014 everything works, and some devices sport pretty great features in this port. However, it\u2019s failed to grab the bull by the horns, as has pretty much everyone else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Between feature disparity and opaque capabilities, iPhone consumers are virtually in the dark about what features their phone supports over USB-C without conducting a painstaking amount of research. In that sense, Apple\u2019s move to USB-C has been no better than any other Android implementation before it, but it\u2019s also failed to explore useful features like USB PD PPS for faster charging. Still, Lightening certainly wasn\u2019t any better in any of these regards, so it\u2019s still a change for the better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><q>I&#8217;d hoped Apple would curate a USB-C garden for others to emulate. I was wrong.<\/q><\/p>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Part of me had hoped that Apple\u2019s usually obsessive approach to its walled garden would have curated a USB-C environment for others to emulate. Taking the best parts of the specification and applying them in a way that \u201cjust works\u201d across mobile, tablet, and laptops would have been something to applaud.\u00a0Instead, we\u2019re left with another confusing mess that\u2019ll leave consumers scratching their heads as to why some things work and others don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c_e c_B\">\n<p>Perhaps I was too optimistic. No brand has really grappled with the USB-C hydra and won. Even Google has managed to mess up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-9-pro-xl-usb-c-worse-3477805\/\">charging its new Pixel 9 Pro XL<\/a> by delving down another specification tangent. Why would Apple bother to perfect the formula when it never really wanted USB-C for iPhones anyway? Maybe things will be a bit more comprehensible next year, but I wouldn\u2019t bet on it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"c_Ik c_r c_s\">Comments<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 1780 1017.4\" class=\"c_ec\"><path d=\"m1742.9 37.2-.3-.3c-49.6-49.4-129.8-49.2-179.2.3L890.5 710.4v.2L216.7 37.4C193 13.9 160.9.7 127.5.6 57.3.4.2 57.2 0 127.5c-.1 33.8 13.2 66.3 37.1 90.2l768 766.3c50.1 45.8 127.3 44.2 175.4-3.7l762.4-763c49.5-49.8 49.5-130.3 0-180.1\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/apple-usb-c-one-year-later-3483637\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been one year since Apple revolutionized\u2026 caught up\u2026 was forced into adopting USB-C on the iPhone (thanks, EU) over its longstanding proprietary Lightning connector, and the arrival of the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=111247\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8630],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-111247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=111247"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111247\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=111247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=111247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=111247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
