Why the iPhone doesn’t have USB-C

1. It would’ve been funny if this video had been 1 second long and you just saying the word… “money”

   • Lol

2. It’s just ironic how the Apple ecosystem is so well integrated together between iPhones, iPads and Macs, except for the ports they use.

   • With iCloud and airdrop why would i use my lightning port transfer anything. And am pretty sure both are faster the usb c with good internet

   • @popskullz1 the main issue is security and network congestion in a public place. It’s not exactly safe to transmit sensitive data OTA over a public network. Also the speed of Airdrop and iCloud sync drop with each user added to your Wi-Fi connection.

     Also remember, you’re not comparing airdrop to lightning, you’re comparing it to USB3/USB-C, which Apple should’ve added long ago honestly

   • It would be cool if they could develop lightning fast wireless transfers

   • @Shawn Robeck apple isn’t going to go portless. Wireless charging can’t charge as fast as wireless charging and the data transferring would be so much slower. Usb-c is the solution and probably will be in the future iphones.

   • @Ryan BurnsRed you do realize that not every usb c is equal. That 7 dollar amazon prolly not the best choice to charge devices with. You have to be careful or you could ruin the batteries on your stuff lol. Regardless if apple switches to USB C you will need to carry multiple versions of usb c especially when it comes to computers laptops and displays.

3. 8K would be 4 times the data size…

   • @StolenJoker also, USB-C isn’t just the connector

     It’s also the cable and port

   • @Juno USB Type C is a CONNECTOR. There is a male end (the cable), and a female end (the port) and it has NO DIRECT CORRELATION as to the ports capabilities. As far as theoretical data speeds, they’re literally the same as USB type A and USB Type B. (The exception is if the protocol is is USB 4, which uses Type C only) Why is this concept so hard to understand? I don’t care how fast the data is possibly able to be transferred down the cable, if the protocols behind the port (with the Type C connector) aren’t there to support those data rates (if it supports data at all)? It really isn’t that hard of a concept to understand – which means that you’re being willfully ignorant at this point and this conversation is not worth continuing.

   • @StolenJoker because you’re wrong

   • @Juno Only because you’re obviously incapable of separating the *connector* (HDMI, DP, USB Type A, USB Type B, USB Type C) with the various protocols (USB Pd, USB 2.x, 3.x, USB 4.x, USB-to-go, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, DisplayPort, just to name a few) that may or may not be present. I have devices that use the USB Type C connector but don’t transfer any data. I have devices that came with USB Type A 2.x cables to USB Type C. Are you really going to still try to tell me that USB Type C automatically means 40Gbps data speeds?

   • @StolenJoker your whole argument is just semantics

4. it’ll be lightning next year too

5. Dude, your HDR destroyed my eyes..

   • Why does it do that though

6. Miles’ best picks

   • Is this the same guy ?

   • @kristian howard yes

   • @Will H i didn’t know he did tech stuff
     Wow he is really mkbhd’s lost brother

   • @ツ me neither

   • literally bruh

7. *shooting 8k takes up 4x more data not 2x

   • Bro I was just about to say that

8. “We have MKBHD at home”

   • Brooo

   • Doesn’t he work for Marques?

   • @Brock Murphy no. 9to5Mac isn’t affiliated with MKBHD unless I’m mistaken

   • @Nolen Jensen

     https://youtu.be/23d8NonnS1I

     Isn’t that him in The Studio channel which is run by Marques and his entire crew?

9. Miles best picks: Charger edition?

10. The lightning connector is superior to USB-C in that it is far less likely to break.

    • all of my devices are types c and ports still gud after these many years, isheep

    • USB-C is just a form factor and tells you nothing of speed or features. The protocol is what determines that. Like USB 4 or thunderbolt 4.

    • For some reason lightning is limited to usb 2.0 speeds.

    • Cap it’s not they say they comply

12. wait wtf is mike’s doing over here on 9to5 mac lmao. miles’ top picks: charge port edition

13. The Great Value version of MKBHD

14. Miles’ best picks: tech edition

15. I recognize this man because he does car videos, never knew he did videos on this channel!
