18 September 2022
The 12" MacBook from 2015 was one of the first devices to adopt USB-C, the iPhones will be one of the last to do it.

Once US gets out of China production for goods we will see China's downfall lacking any source to copy from. About EU, no brand for tech since 70s, focused now on world scale wealth equality and political correctness. Engineers in EU are paid low as any other store sellers and were not allowed to produce anything new on the grounds of giving a chance to China for development, they are told you do not know to do it, let Chinese do the tech, you just pay the tax on your social services.

I am also in Europe and i see them used a lot. I have lots of friends who have iphone. By the way all the refugees come in with iphone in there hands. The people who come in from countries that are not in bad situation but these people who want to get a better life but come illegally just to get free money from the support system of the countries. I dont know in what country of Europe your from that dont have much of the people who have iphones. I live in a country that is neighboring Russia and all there tourist come in with mostly iphones too

                          It seems like that you're the terrible one here, seeing all your replies end up with long, negative, self centered essays about how iOS is betterr than Android or how Android is baddddd. Like seriously, what is it with you?

But for me volume control isn't that important as I use my Mi Band 6 to control music playback. But they don't sound that good. Bass is weak. Sound isn't energetic. Even my Edifier X5 which is really cheap sounds better. Will give my airpods to my sister as she only use it for calls.

                                  Gsmarena is also slow to adopt their native dark mode for their website too, just saying. But at least they're not like apple. Please add part 2 for this one. Thank you very much.

                                    I am pretty sure Apple and the high rank officials already have a good idea how the iPhone 16 or iPhone 17 series will look like and what features will have. Because of this, is only normal that they will give little by little each year. In this way, they will indirectly force people to update (if not each year, at least once per 2 years).
                                    They had planned to give AOD or improved camera sensor in iPhone 14 Pro series, maybe since 2-3 years ago. Because they gave 120Hz refresh rate on iPhone 13 Pro's. So, they needed something else to make the iPhone 14 Pro's stand out.
                                    A company like Apple will never think just 1 year ahead, but at least 2-3.

The more they turned into an investor's passive income machine, the more boring they and their products grew. But money speaks, and they are undoubtably successful. They would be mad to change their strategy, sadly.
                                      Don't blame the company, blame the markets and how they promote this kind of development.
