    Curious to see what they cripple with usbc. And if they’re updating every lightning port product to usbc too. Be interesting if all phones will get the pill/dynamic island treatment. Hope it’s useful and not a gimmick when more apps support it

      Most other Apple products already use USBC and have for a while. It’s only the iPhone they’ve been dragging their feet on.

      I think it will be hilarious to watch them continue forcing their phones to communicate with USB2.0 speeds even after the move to USB-C just so they can push more people to buy overpriced iCloud storage. It will be 2060 and we will still have USB 2.0 on our apple phones.

    An interesting effect of unifying Mac and iPhone tech is that games ported to Mac need little work to be ported to iPhone.

    Getting actual AAA games on iPhone is kinda cool but still seems very impractical. Mostly because if you can afford an iPhone 15 pro you can afford a game console, Mac/PC, etc.

      Controls are definitely the limiting factor at this point. I’ve tried a few console and PC game ports via Apple Arcade recently, and they all run great but the touch controls are really clunky - especially when they try to emulate analogue sticks.

      It’s about time Apple took a stab at a games controller, leaving it to 3rd parties hasn’t created enough momentum. An Apple take on a gaming pad would be interesting, especially with some sort of MagSafe iPhone mount. A controller also seems a natural expansion for the Vision Pro.

    Uhh. Who needs raytraced video games on their iPhone? I really doubt many mobile games are going to support and leverage that capability. If they do you would hard pressed to notice it on a phone screen.

    Seems like the base model 15 has everything I want. Not sure how they’re going to sell the pro model this year.

    I’ll be upgrading whatever it is. Work is gonna pay for it and it’s easily my most used device.
