Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple Fixed the Problem they Created.”.
Never again, this cable has been one of the worst parts of living in Apple’s Walled Garden ecosystem, but thanks to the European Union, Tim Apple has been forced to join the rest of the modern world and move over to the universally accepted standard of USBC. At least that’s the version of events that the government would have you believe, according to Apple, this was all totally of their own volition, definitely not because they lost a protracted legal battle anywho. Regardless of the reason I see this as an absolute win but depending which iPhone you buy, it might be more or less of a win. You see, USBC, isn’t so much a standard specification as it is a menu of optional specifications. So not every iPhone or every cable, for that matter is going to support the same features we’ll get into that later. The bottom line for now, though, is universal. Charging is finally here, no matter what device you’re using or which Segway I do to our sponsor.
You green what’s better than power. Unlimited power, ugreen’s 300 watt, multi-port Gan charger is packed with features like PD 3.1 hyper fast charging for a high power, USBC ports and more check it out at the link below Apple actually has a long history of innovation. When it comes to USBC, they were heavily involved in the development of the standard contributing over 20 percent of the engineers. According to nine to five Mac, they were the first to announce a USBC laptop, which was a big deal since it supported data transfer and charging over a single port and they shipped the first USBC iOS device.
The iPad Pro almost five years ago, with support for all kinds of cool things, like external storage and peripherals and high resolution displays and now that’s all coming to the iPhone sort of. If you had Apple’s iPhone 15 and Apple watch announcement up on your secondary monitor, you might have missed how they glossed over a teeny, tiny detail regarding the switch to USBC. That’S right! It’S goodbye lightning, but hello again to our dear friend USB 2.0, who recently celebrated their 23rd birthday. Happy belated buddy, so yeah, just like the old lightning cable USBC on the regular iPhone 15 is stuck at a 2 000 era transfer speed of just 480 megabit per second, it’s not unusable if all you’re doing is sending the odd file over the wires, but it Is pretty outdated compared to the competition for context? Samsung moved their flagships to USB 3 10 years ago, and you need to go all the way down to their a series devices to find anything, that’s still using USB 2. Today, however, to Apple’s credit, if you Pony up for the iPhone 15 Pro, you not only get support for USB 3, but it runs at a whopping, 10 gigabit per second, which might not matter for those small file transfers I talked about before, but it could matter For some of the features that Apple just introduced more on those later first, let’s talk about the aspect of USBC that most people are going to care about charging you get a C2C Cable in the box. So that’s good, but like many recent mobile products there is no included wall warts.
So hopefully you already have one also. It should be noted that both the 15 and the 15 Pro are still limited to 20 watt charging. So if you’re the kind of person who just gets bothered when the capability of a standard is not fully utilized well, then you might prefer the 210 watt charging of a redmi note 12 Explorer. But personally I don’t care the fact that I only have to carry around one type of cable.
Now from my switch, my laptop my phone, my friend’s phone, who won’t buy the same kind as me, and now we have different colored bubbles. It’S just such a relief that I am not going to complain about minor things like charging watts and, besides, with Apple’s focus on overall platform efficiency, their batteries tend to be smaller than the competition, so these new devices should charge in about an hour. Now. Let’S talk about the next big thing: performance, the all-new a17 Pro processor is kind of exciting. It’S built on tsmc’s Cutting Edge three nanometer process and inside it you’ll find six CPU cores six GPU cores and as far as I can tell an angry tiger, that looks ready to absolutely shred any workload you throw at this thing.
I mean look at this. Gentian impact looks great on the iPhone 15 Pro and that’s cool, but my mind wasn’t really blown until they showed Resident Evil Village and the re4 Remake. As far as I can tell running locally on a Flippin iPhone, I mean I just about wore out my X key, seeing how smooth and beautiful the footage looked given that they didn’t do the demo live, but if this is real and reflective of the gaming experience, Nintendo’S handheld competition from valve is the least of their concerns. It nuts Hardware accelerated Ray tracing metal, FX, upscaling up to a terabyte of storage, 6.1 inch screen with 460 pixels per inch 1600 nit Peak brightness in HDR, Wi-Fi 60 av1 decoding and up to 29 hours of video playback on battery, I mean sure gaming is bound To eat through that battery life a little bit faster, but even with the Hefty price tag of a thousand dollars for the Base Pro Model, considering the weight and the size of the device and the fact that it does all the other stuff it does and you’re Going to be carrying it around with you anyway, you guys are going to have to download this video before I delete it, but I think Apple’s pricing might actually be justified. There is a downside: not many games are built for metal, but if Apple’s new porting tools do gain traction that caveat might end up aging like fine milk, just like your old Android devices that are sitting in a drawer with zero modern software support.
Another thing Apple keeps doing, right is supporting older devices, even if it ends up slowing them down a bit, and you might not care a whole lot about the extra performance of this new chip today. I certainly don’t as long as my phone’s fast enough whatever, but in five years, when your iPhone is getting the freshest updates, it could make the difference between feeling the need to upgrade or still feeling completely fine on your now many generations old device. Don’T get me wrong, regardless of how Pro they are, I’m still not thrilled that phones randomly cost over a thousand freaking dollars now, but given the alleged cost of the latest manufacturing nodes, I’m also not that surprised and it’s hard to argue that the value is not There, with the a17 pro at its heart, the iPhone 15 Pro, is looking like the biggest generational leap in at least a little while I’m talking spatial video capture that you can upload to the Apple Vision Pro that might become affordable at some point, the ability to Capture prores footage straight out of that high-speed, USB port into an external storage device for easy ingest and video editing the titanium materials that make it the lightest pro model ever the thinner, bezels, the replaceable back glass, I mean that’s super cool, a customizable action button. Finally, like okay, this is kind of sick guys and up to 5x telephoto zoom on the pro Max, like the gang’s all here guys, it’s a pretty compelling package. If there was ever a generation to skip and a generation to buy, it seems like they’re called 14 and 15..
Even the non-pro 15 has a lot going for it. Here I mean you might hate the lighter colors compared to the more adult Pro Line, and you might be disappointed like I am that it stuck with the last generation. A16 bionic chip which come to think of.
It is probably the reason that it’s also saddled with usb2, but it is still a formidable performer and it comes with a slew of upgrades, like machine learned, voice. Isolation during your calls, A roadside assistance program in partnership with AAA to flesh out their SOS emergency features. A second gen Ultra wideband chip to help find friends or items in crowded or cluttered spaces and the cool Dynamic Island feature that hit the iPhone 14 Pro. That is now on the 15 and the 15 Pro with some minor improvements.
They have crammed a lot into these tiny devices kind of like how we crammed a lot into our new stubby version of the LTT screwdriver get yours today, lttstore.com speaking of small devices. They also talked about the new Apple watch series 9 and Ultra 2.. Both of them are featuring The S9 system in a package or sip, with 5.6 billion transistors, with a beat that is more transistors, and I know this is not an Apples to Apples comparison, but that is more than a GTX, 680.
and speaking of Graphics. It boasts a 30 faster GPU. I don’t know if Apple watches ever necessarily felt like they were too slow, but if you consider how much they’re trying to offload to this thing now, it might just need all that processing power.
Siri requests are now going to be handled locally. Finding your iPhone by using your watch has never been easier and the screen has never been brighter or dimmer for that matter, managing to run it anywhere from two or three thousand nits, depending on. If you want to pay Lord money or King money for a watch all the way down to just one, the coolest feature, though, and one that, if we’re being realistic, is probably going to start a new trend where people make this gesture when they want people to Shut up is the double tap hand, gesture controls that you can use to answer or end phone calls when you’re wearing the watch. You just double tap and you’ve hung up how cool would it be if that worked in real life, someone’s like talking at you, while you’re trying to focus you’re just like I wanted to do it pretty badly when they showed the cringy mother nature skit to boast About how carbon neutral they are, I mean don’t get me wrong. I am stoked for any progress that we can make towards reducing our impact on the planet, but wow that was. That was something else to save you from having to watch it.
Long story short by 2030, they are aiming to be Net Zero across their entire business, but just Apple next time. Please just tell us that or better yet tell us that you’ve also improved your repair ability. There were a few other things: uh, Better Health features with biking, support and advanced metrics, uh name drop on watch OS 10, better ping that iPhone support automatic homepod connectivity, waypoints and precision finding there’s a depth app for diving. So if you’re a diver, that’s pretty cool.
Most of this, though, is you know, hey that’s cool, but kind of Niche and things that only some of you will care about and if you do we’re gon na have links to the pre-order page down below they start shipping September 22nd. We’Ll also have some alternative phone link down below, but I got ta say considering everything Apple showed off today, starting to feel like the grass is looking pretty green inside that Walled Garden green, like this Segway to our sponsor motion, gray, not taking care of your spine During your Daily Grind is a recipe for back pain, so why would anyone even have that recipe throw it in the trash and use this other one from motion, gray for ergonomic workplace Solutions at affordable prices, duh motion graze, sit to stand desks come in a wide Variety of models and sizes are simple to assemble and have a bunch of accessories, so they definitely have something to suit your needs.
