          DaFink, 28 Oct 2022How so? I mean sure, windows mobile has its place on the... moreWindows Mobile phones have touchscreens. With or without the iPhone, if Google would release a smartphone, it would most likely has a touchscreen.

            Anonymous, 28 Oct 2022That guy was talking about the concept of modern smartphone... moreHow so?

            I mean sure, windows mobile has its place on the evolutionary path of smartphones, but to say modern smartphones owe their existence to it is a bit of a stretch. Look the reason Android debuted as a touch based operating system is down to Apple’s introduction of the iPhone and not due to windows mobile whom Google seemed perfectly happy to ignore.

            So it would be more accurate to say modern smartphones owe more in terms of both physical design and UI to the iPhone and iOS than windows mobile. Not to take anything away from the contributions made by Windows in the overall evolution of the smartphone.

              I recently switched from Android to iPhone. While I do like the phone, I see no benefit in the lightning connector. Apple just wants to have their own proprietary connector. It's as simple as that. Them going on about trusting their engineers etc is nothing but hot air.

                DaFink, 27 Oct 2022Hmm you’re only partially correct there. See no PDA device’... moreThat guy was talking about the concept of modern smartphones. He is right that the concept of modern smartphones was started with Windows Mobile.

                  Apple consumer's want notice if company decisions where good/dumb/cruel even ? Why
                  Simple 95+% of apple consumer's won't even try anything from another company even if told or read about it they'll just either dismissed it as fake news , or act British and think anything else is generic brand 🤷, . Apple haven't been or released anything revolutionary since Jobs passed away. 14 pro adds decade old Android things and Apple's marketing and paying idiots who post these type not mention this only what apple are doing with the always on feature variable refresh 4ate, and the laughable dynamic island aka the hole punch selfie and fascial scanner . And y'all mostly think anything this why we won't ever try anything else lmao. Apple knew this Long ago and to non apple product buying ppl it's funny that apple decided to take on No.1 undisputed company who release products neodel yearly that according to them there is a difference between models if you correctly guess Porsche was the company I was talking about then 👌, apple trying to 1up Porsche when dropped charging block and cable and again with them marketing itas them doing there part for environment but there just abusive parents who enjoy denying there consumer and then like an addict they raised price of device even though amount saved not oncludi

                    What a marketing hypocrisy. Meanwhile, selling type-C only charging MacBooks since 2016 and premium ipads since 2018.

                            SShock, 26 Oct 2022And like ALWAYS, you haven't read the post, you just k... moreYou absolutely 🤡 The regulation is all about the the 'port" itself and not their transfer speeds. Read the article before rushing to spread BS under every article. Doesn't matter if it's 2.0 or 3.0. It only asks for a common port that's all

                              Fennik, 27 Oct 2022Does this mean Apple finally allowing people to transfer fi... moreProbably not. And when they'll go full wireless, you can be sure they'll force people to use iTunes to perform communication between computer and phone. It's the Apple way.

                              What is weird how there hasn't ben more outcry for people who shoot 4K video with phones regularly and transfer huge video files to PC via Lightning (which is USB 2.0). I personally didn't care at all, but there are people who do this regularly.

                                RedLamp, 27 Oct 2022If you don't see it, does not mean that it does not exist.Logic says that if tens upon tens of people I know don't have an issue in years, then if somebody else does, it's an exception that will happen from time to time, because nothing can ever work 100% of the time.

                                  David, 26 Oct 2022Actually PDA's running Windows Mobile from the year 20... moreHmm you’re only partially correct there. See no PDA device’s affect on the smartphone industry was in any meaningful way impactful, the iPhone though was game changing.

                                  Fact is those early touch screen pda’s were niche experimental devices that tried putting touch screens on top of software never meant for that type of input. They were replaced by the initial smartphone standard introduced by the likes of Nokia and Blackberry, who were themselves then supplanted by Apple with the introduction of the iPhone, who were the first to join a full multi touch display with UI specifically designed for touch input.

                                  So you can say Apple took some cues from the early niche pda era sure, an era they were early participants in by the way with devices like the Newton. But It’s an obvious and well established fact that Apple revolutionised the Smartphone industry when they launched the iPhone. Toppling both BlackBerry and Nokia from their previous dominance, whilst forcing Google to go back to the drawing board with Android in the process.

                                  The industry was on a different track after the iPhone came along which is a level of success and Impact no PDA ever come near close to achieving.

                                        Anonymous, 26 Oct 2022I actually like the fact that lightning port can be easily ... moreThis seems like a legitimate concern. I've never had a problem with dust in my USB-C ports on any device. Hopefully this alleviates your concerns. It's actually not that difficult to stick something in there if you wanted to try to get something out, but I could see how the lightning port would be more convenient for this.
