minus-square@SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•2 years agoThat’s forbidden in the EU with the same directive that forces USB-C, so that’d be very dumb of apple.
minus-square@reddit_sux@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-5•2 years agoWell EU is not the only market for Apple.
minus-square@Honytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink2•2 years agoApple is free to leave if they can’t hold themselves to the pro-consumer laws of the EU. And we won’t be sad to see them go.
minus-square@ReakDuck@lemmy.mllinkfedilink9•2 years agoThe EU said they would ban Apple out of EU if they even attempt.

minus-square@SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•2 years ago they force USB2.0 speeds (same as lightning) unless you get the Pro (this is unverified) Not as much force, it’s just the chip in there isn’t good. It’s very verified by the way, it’s in the Tech Specs. IPhone 15: usb 2 to 480 Mbps (source) IPhone 15 Pro: usb 3 up to 10 Gbps (source)
minus-square@k5nn@lemm.eelinkfedilink-1•edit-22 years agoWait so if it’s not apple’s cable you’re throttled to usb 2.0 speeds?
minus-squaregilalinkfedilink1•2 years agoNothing to do with the cable, the port on the device is a USB-C port that is limited to USB2.0 speeds. Whereas the iPhone Pro has one that can do USB3.0 speeds. This seems to have been recently verified by the tech specs on Apple website btw

minus-square@Asymptote@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink1•2 years agoCompliance reasons. USB spec at the time didn’t really allow for extension cables because it added an unknown amount of resistance. The notch was a workaround; they were within spec for the intended device both with and without that cable.
minus-square@Dave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilink2•2 years agoOh interesting! I guess I should stop blaming apple then.

it may not be but, 1/3 your market is a hefty margin

The bad SOC is the limit.
