Been waiting a few years to replace my iPhone 12 Pro but each year has not been too compelling it's own. I'm already 95% sure I'll be getting whatever phone they announce this year.
Tho if they do upgrade to USB-C (which I assume they will), I might wait for some durability tests on the port to come out. I have a shit ton of lightning connectors and am used to it, so not switching isn't much of a problem but could be worth not switching to USB-C if it's more likely to break than the tried and true king of durability
[clarification] I'm saying the port is the king of durability, not the cable/connector/plug

After having a child’s iPad start to fail charging, I welcome our new USB-C overlords. I’ve never had any USB-C device have problems with the ports.
Id much rather replace cables twice as often than replace the devices with the same frequency.

Oh my god. My USB-C connected external drives can barely keep connected. It’s infuriating waking my Mac up to dozens and dozens of “improperly ejected” messages.

I have had USB-C phones, battery packs and other devices since 2015. Not a single port or cable has failed me so far.
Worrying about the durability of USB-C 7 years later seems unwarranted. But I can see wanting to use up your lighting cable subscription before moving on.
I told my partner, just get the phone ASAP when you can, it's the only non usb thing we have left.

USB-C was specifically designed to have a durable port AFAIK
I’ve never had any issues with it and I have used USB-C devices for years
-
I just switched everything to MagSafe chargers and I love it. No plugs.
-
Wish it supported carplay over magsafe

I do think they’re only introducing the USB C in only the most expensive phones. But it might still be worth it if they’ve not throttled the USBC speeds and charging capabilities to lock it down to only their cables.

I have a 12 myself. Actually considering a 14 Pro Max refurbished from eBay, but my only hold out is I’d rather have a USB-C port. I can’t tell you how often my pocket gunk gets into that lightning port. I often see the worst of it in my car based on where I put my phone, the connection gets super sensitive and just moving the phone disconnects CarPlay often. I have the tools to clean the port out but it never seems to take care of the problem fully…
-
aren't there reports apple is slowing down the usb C depending on the model?
-
I don't think I've transfered data to my phone via wire in the better part of a decade
-
They can’t slow down the charging rate unless they want to get in trouble with the EU. If they’re planning to limit the data transfer rate for, say, non-Pro iPhones, that would suck, but then again all iPhones to date have been USB 2.0 at best, and USB Type-C is just the connector and doesn’t say anything about data transfer rates anyway.

The logo reminds me of the opening of Foundation.
-
I’ve heard they will be 3D printing the titanium rails on the Pro line by utilizing a type of ground up titanium powder. Clever use in the invite.
-
Titanium ground by virgins of the highlands of sri lankan xtanium deposits, delivered by llama to the holy fires of mordor, then sintered into DRM positive elements. Can't wait

-
I have not been able to allow myself to skip a single Foundation opening sequence. I'd really love to see it on a 4K OLED someday
-
As someone with a 4K OLED, it’s awesome. I always watch it.
The sound, however, could use some work in my opinion.
