Anonymous, 12 Oct 2021Real iPhone users can only dream of such conveniences USB type C should be standardized with 65W charging on all phones.
Apple only pretends to care about the environment by making you buy and carry two different cables for your laptop and your phone.

      This just shows apple how desperate their users are to get type c on their phones

        If this guy mysteriously disappears, we know who did it. Its time Type - C is adopted in every electronic device out there. This includes phones, tablets, handheld gaming consoles, cameras and light laptops.

          Mmm kudos to him, IPHONE 14 will have USB-C ! Not that it will be a better phone with or without ## so much hardware technologies inferior to Android phone ! Apart from their TMSC processor, nothing to fancy about

              Even a crappy apple lightning cable from a B brand is quite expensive because you pay Apple the royalties for that tiny copper lightning cable . That B brand payd Apple for each cable sold.

                dbjungle, 12 Oct 2021Now we just need to get one that runs AndroidTo be honest, I prefer they keep iOS.
                That software runs faster, uses less battery, and is easier to code for (SDK). All in all, iOS is the better Operating System compared to Android. (and I am an Android User)

                What you should be asking for instead is; modifications to iOS.
                1- Allow admin/root/jail access
                2- Sideload Apps from alternate sources
                3- Opt in/opt out of certain Apple-Imposed Restrictions
                4- Remove boot code that checks for "official" battery, screen, camera, etc etc Modules
                5- Customise the Theme, Lock screen, Home screen, Notifications, and Settings Page

                ...now you've given the major advantages of Android to iOS, and no-one would be complaining about it anymore. However, this would slash BILLIONS from Apple's profits and revenues every quarter. So such a move will never happen.

                            The only reason Apple don't like the USB-C connector is because they can't claim they invented it and charge royalties.
