Seems like Apple is very much setting themselves up to compete against MS, Sony, and Nintendo for couch gaming.
- Until Apple stops being Apple and gives some freedom to devs and publishers, it’s just not going to happen.
  My hopes for this are media playback when traveling and using your phone as a mobile desktop which is still one of the things I miss from Samsung — Dex was really nice when I needed it.
  
  Isn’t iOS already one of the most profitable gaming platforms across the board?
  
  Even just basic MHL was the bomb for use cases like that back in the day, and then Google axed it because... They wanted to sell more Chromecasts, of course. Seems we can just never have nice things.
I hope there’s some kind of desktop mode when plugged into a monitor. All I ever wanted from a smartphone when it first became a thing was to be able to go into the office. Plug your phone in to do general tasks
- My Samsung tabled does that. Same with their phones, it's called Dex.
  You can even use the phone as a trackpad.
  Pretty neat feature, I agree.
  
  Now that I say I always wanted to have this feature I wonder if I’d realistically use it.
  Is Dex useful? Have you used it in any regular or useful way?
So wait, does it have a displayport?
Because I saw news saying that some models would have USB-C 2.0, only USB-C 3.2(? FastDelivery) supports monitors. So unless it has a second port there's no way this is true.
- The non-pro models only have USB 2.0
  
  Then there's no way the non-pro models can use monitors, let alone 4k HDR. Pretty sure even if you power the monitor separately it just doesn't transfer the data fast enough.
  I spent months trying to use a portable monitor with a USB-C 2.0 port until I found out there's different versions and only 1 actually works for it.
That's actually impressive wish my Pixel had dp alt
- Pixel 8 series will apparently support dp alt mode after all these years. Thanks Google for the bare minimum again.
