It's that time of year again, folks. As the tech world has sights set on the latest Apple event that is producing the new iPhone 16 as we speak, we all know we'll be seeing slightly improved phones, some impressive specs, and a few 'innovative" or "magic" new features from Apple. For me, however, the...
Not only do they have RCS, but they finally got USB-C across the iPhone 16 lineup!
Forced by EU! Thanks again, EU.
Thanks EU for chat control 😁
That didn’t pass as far as I am aware.
No but they should have not this idea
It was not an EU thing, it was a China thing.
It’s quite obvious as well looking back at it; if course China will mandate one of the weakest protocol with no end to end encryption.
Avoid RCS like the plague and use something more secure!
I was talking about usb-c, and I don’t care about RCS, but it is still better in everyway than SMS.
I hate the timing of that EU decision, because we’ll never know if Apple did the switch because of it, or because 10 years had passed since they promised 10 years of Lightning anyway.
I cannot find anything related to “the promised 10 years of lightening”. Do you min providing a source?
Might not be true, I read it back when they first announced USB-C, and I can’t find anything about it right now.
Someone doesn’t read articles
You aren’t wrong, I just read the headline and the comments. However, my comment isn’t about anything in this article.
Oh yeah i know, I’m talking about articles in general. When the EU gave Apple the command to either comply or pack up, they initially expressed disdain before eventually succumbing.
They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.
Yet apple being apple both the 15 and 16 non pro models are arbitrarily limited to USB 2.0
I can’t remember the last time I connected my phone to my computer via USB to transfer files. I bet the vast majority are the same.
More than likely, I’m sure a majority of iPhone users don’t care or even notice this. I personally would have loved to see the ability to add fast expandable storage to an iPhone over usb! I usually load movies, shows, podcasts and music on my phone since unfortunately there tends to be very limited connection to cell towers where I am.
