  • Steve Wozniak 'can't tell the difference' between iPhone 12 and iPhone 13

    Wozniak only worked like 10% in total Apple's existence and that makes him some sort of expert?

    Hopefully Apple can go Gallium Nitride (GaN) on the high end pro model power adapters. 
    tbh i'd prefer they didn't add any cables nor chargers or put more sane options for nowadays - 10ft cables, multiport chargers. otherwise it's a waste.

    Best Case: They go with USB-C and by the time it takes effect, Apple has already moved everything to USB-C
    Worst Case: They go with some weird local plug standard that is only made and used in Slovakia or some such place and the rest of the world is completely f-ed. 
    Let’s see what they do. 
    This thread is a farce…
    EU requires charge to be common, not particular shape or colour. 
    Apple has no right to complain. Most of the accessories are bluetooth nowadays or has usbc option. Lightning is environmental disaster. 
    That’s ridiculous! The EU is constantly making rules that defy common sense. This goes hand in hand with the upcoming rule that doesn’t allow chargers to be sold with, and packaged with smartphones. That’s also dumb, though Apple began to comply, and other phone companies have been following.

    so the socket on the phone matters? It doesn’t. Apple supplies a lightning to USB C cable, and that all they should have to do. As with rechargers, it’s inane. So the EU believes that since we all have old chargers, we don’t need new ones, and so the old ones will be thrown away. This way, we’ll have to use the old ones so that we don’t have to pay for new ones. How dumb is that? Anybody here have a charger from an old phone, iPhone, Samsung phone or any other that is 5 watts? How many of you will want to use that with your new phone with a much bigger battery and faster charging time?

    Sure, EU, the most advanced society makes decisions that defy common sense. Maybe if you live in a cave.

    The 12 Pro Max got improved zoom.
    It also got a larger camera sensor and a better image stabilizer system compared to the smaller 12 Pro. I feel very  frustrated that the larger phone has more features because I want all of the best features but I also don’t want such an enormous phone. 
    Kinda agree, I'm sick of Max, gonna go normal this year
