Apple will probably cripple the usb-c interface so that if you buy third part cables they stop working in two weeks just like third party lightning cables do currently.
no they don’t
third party cables work just fine
I'm genuinely not trying to be an apple hater. My family all have iphones and I'm constantly needing to purchase new cables as they constantly stop working. If apple is not causing this to occur via some software lockout then please help me understand why this occurs. It does not occur when I buy third party usbc cables.
Odd, no troubles here. I pretty much only use 3rd party cables.
Yeah, at USB 2.0 speeds.
All cables will be like that for the 15, because they’re using last year’s pro chip. The 15 pros will have full USB-C speeds.
Thats possibly because of the a16 chip.
Good thing the EU saw that coming and legislated that it must use a standard USB specification rather than some weird proprietary protocol.
Ah yes, that's why all third party USB C cables don't work with my iPad /s
What a stupid comment.
See my comment above. In my experience, third party lightning cables stop working after a few weeks.
Your comment might only make sense if there aren't any Apple devices that support USB C.
