Apple iPhone 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro
Apple iPhone 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro
Apple has dragged the iPhone kicking and screaming into the USB-C era, but with an embarrassingly antiquated USB protocol.
![Apple finally put USB-C in the new iPhone, but it's inexplicably limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/7b61d829-3bb9-4322-9c8e-26bb766d9ac8.webp?format=webp&thumbnail=256)

Yeah I have a Thinkpad Carbon X1. It has soldered on RAM.

Apple blazed the trail though, really pushed the idea that saving a millimeter by going to glued/soldered on components is a good idea

It's funny (or sad I guess) that the current generation of laptops are back on mag chargers (I forget what they're called) instead of USB C. There was never a time when both iPhones and MacBooks used USB C charging.
3 0 Replyyou can use either the magsafe or USB-C PD, both works
8 0 ReplySorry, should've clarified I meant the one that came with it in the box
1 0 ReplyThe cable that comes in the box is MagSafe, but the power brick is usb-c
2 0 ReplySorry, should've clarified I meant the end of the cord that comes in the box that you're meant to plug into the laptop

I don't have one, but I thought the user could either do magsafe or a usb-c to a laptop, either way will charge.
