Rene Ritchie | iPhone 14 โ How Apple Destroys USB-C @ReneRitchie | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
Could Apple end both Lightning and USB-C?
๐ฅ SURPRISE SALE! CuriosityStream + Nebula for less than $12 a YEAR! curiositystream.com/reneritchie
$1000 and the iPhone 13 Pro is still stuck at USB2 speeds. Never mind the $1100 iPhone 13 Pro Max. Why? Because, *Lightning*, and โ wait for it โ Lightning has pretty much been stuck at USB2โs half a gigabit per second, sinceโฆ 2012. That, in spite of Apple adding 10-bit ProRes HDR video recording back in September. With hardware acceleration fast enough to encode 6GB a minute โ a minute! โ and a new storage system fast enough to save it, but noโฆ no as in nothing approachingโฆ a new I/O system fast enough to transfer it. So, you can now record the highest quality video of any phone on the planet, you just canโt get it off any faster than the cheapest phone on the block.
So, what do you do? I mean, besides hitting the button and cursing in the comments, obviously. Well, if youโre Appleโฆ If youโre Apple, maybe you kill the now 10 year old Lightning connector. Summary de-resolution it just to get it off the grid. And then you replace itโฆ maybe with Lightning 2โฆ Maybe with USB-C or even Thunderboltโฆ Or maybe, just maybe, something that could take the iPhone and us forward into the next 10 years?
