    To be fair, unlike previous years iphone releases I’ve seen more skepticism than normal. I fully expected diehard apple users to be resenting the removal of the lightning connector due to excess charging cables. And while those comments exist, it is a very small minority of people. However with that said I don’t fully understand the mindset of buying a phone that has limited or obsolete hardware / software. (ergo headphone jack, ergo missing software feature, ergo USB 2.0 from 23 years ago)

      Apple have really turned the “let’s screw over our customers” dial up to 11 this year.

      The normal iPhone will be limited to 2.0 USB speeds whereas the Pro will have access to 3.0 USB speeds. There’s literally no reason to limit the normal iPhone to 2.0 speeds except to be dicks. I fully expect the likes of Lewis Rossman to announce that it’s just a software setting that can be changed if you jailbreak your iPhone

        Idk, on the Pro they said the sun controller is built into the SoC. So they couldn’t just use last years soc and still give usb3 to the non-pro phones.

        Or at least it would have cost more in components and design. But maybe they should have done it. Idk, I doubt the typical iPhone user cares.

        Are you a fanboy from 2009? No one cares about any of these things you’re complaining about up and down this thread.

        The non-pro has last years SoC which doesn’t have usb3. It’ll probably have it next year.
