If you bought the iPhone 11 last year or a charging brick to power your iPhone 12, you may’ve notice that they don’t look the same as they used to. And I’m going to explain why that is in this video.
Perverse Company. the freight cost is largely reduced for their most sold product, and then they change the port, so in the end, they charge you more money to sell you a new charger, because the one you own is useless with the cable they just provided. Maybe the next move is not shipping the cable either?
Also I hate the "for the environment uwu" BS 1st. the charger in the box produces LESS waste than if it was separate 2nd. Batteries and chargers die the fastest and if learnt anything from the note 7 is that they explode BADLY 3rd. The standard charger has a USB A port but the cable is USB C so you have to get a new charger And if it was to "improve seemlesness with other apple products instead of older accessories" then the iphone would have switched to USB C AGES AGO
Apple devices: Uses electricity Apple explained: You might have wondered why all Apple products run on electricity instead of coal or petroleum, that is exactly what I am going to explain right now.
@@DeletedMemoriez It proves its $1000 (yes, the sign comes before the amount) value in other aspects like the camera, build, display, and other QoL features.
Wouldn't it have been great if Apple had thrown in a tiny USB to USB-C adapter, though, just to help in the transition? It sure seems like their intent is to force additional purchase of new chargers....
@@damianocaniglia2489 More cynically, changing to USB-C on iPhone will probably be because Apple now has Magsafe royalties to replace the Lightning royalties.
@@karmacolonic I’m in agreement. But MagSafe sucks ass and the amount of energy wasted is terrible. I really hope they improve MagSafe for iPhone. But it’s a gimmic so far
@@damianocaniglia2489 I'm with ya on slow-charge Magsafe -- wish Apple would have made the switch to USB-C and fast charging a few iPhones ago. Maybe now that the iPhone cameras are recording crazy-high-res video and producing massive files, Apple's hand is being forced to upgrade from slowpoke Lightning for data transfers. Their own technology advances caught up with them! Lol But yeah, for whatever reason, the switch to USB-C is way overdue. Hope to see it soon.
This. Not to mention if Apple was being so generous by easing use, why didn't they give a charging brick? At LEAST for the first one or two models they did this to. I don't buy for one second that it wasn't just to make you buy more stuff from them.
It's actually to connect iPhone to Android phones directly...... To easily make data transfer And switch to I phone There's a reason behind every apple innovation.... You get it?
Why Apple Changed The iPhone's Charger? A: Simple, to make more Money. If Apple were so kind to just give the users the benefit of fast charging, they would have included a charger in the box. It was NOT AT ALL a eco friendly move as everyone has to buy new bricks, more packaging, more plastic, more waste. But again, more money.
If they really cared about charger compatibility they’d make the input on iPhone’s USB-C instead of a proprietary lightning connector. Ya know, like the Macbook and iPad already do.
That would have been problem for most customers as 90% of Apple users are not tech enthusiasts and adding new port would actually be problematic for them, mainly when not adding the charger in the box. So Apple is either going to start the transition to fully wireless charging in the future which is going to be long transition with ton of accessories released before there is no ports on the iphone or they are going to bring a new port with backwards compatibility with lightning. You should just forget about USB-C on iphone there is not incentive for apple to do that.
Real problem is that the only put in the fast charging brick in the 11 series phones so only a select few people got it without paying extra. The cable nor the connector are really an issue
@@dominikhanus9320 apple has already changed their connector before, and they will HAVE to do this switch eventually since prores video takes forever on the lightning cable (that uses the usb 2.0 speed standard) Edit:On top of prores, iphone 14 will have a megapixel bump in the cameras to 48 to allow 8k and that means 8k prores video, which uses even more data. 10 minutes of this footage would take over half an hour to transfer to a Mac, Windows pc, or Linux machine over that slow cable, or even worse: airdrop
0:15 - I disagree that the larger size was completely necessary for faster charging, given that Anker sells a 20W charger that’s the same size as Apple’s 5W charger.
@@YourMom-wi5to If that’s true, then Anker must have much smaller profit margins than Apple! Anker’s 20W charger is between $15.99 and $19.99 (it depends which version you get), while both Apple’s 5W and 20W chargers are $19.00.
Greg’s videos have ignored the rest of the world outside North America before, speaking as though we don’t exist. That one one Apple plug adapters for international travel had no concept of people living outside the States. I wouldn’t mind videos made by. US creators focusing on their domestic audience, but please at least say that is what you are doing.
More like: Apple finally starting to not be idiots and usb c like everyone else so we don't have to buy chargers specifically for apple but still refusing to change the actual charger port itself which would be better
so annoying that they designed a new lighting to usb c cable instead of just making a usb c - usb c cable and making the iphone usb c like every other phone in the world
I don't think people had a problem with them using USB type C, but the fact that they didn't include it in the box. USB C is still somewhat new so most bricks people have are type A, not C. Seems kinda cheap to do considering how expensive these products are
@@Dave30867 I mean what are they supposed to do? Just not use their new phone/product? Apple doesn’t give a damn that you can’t use your phone because of this. I don’t care what “environment friendly” excuse they try to give. Laughable considering it takes packaging to ship the product within an box creating more waste, and now you have an additional adapter that you no longer need. Money grabbers is what they are.
Because they get money from using lightning instead of something like usb c. The same can be said with the headphone jack, they removed it for number 1, they were paying a small fee for every headphone jack they added on their products and number 2, after they removed the headphone jack, it forced people to invest in Airpods as consumers couldn't use their old 3.5mm headphone, which made them more more money. Hopefully I cleared it out for you!
@@faahaad0 Apple along with Intel and many companies are actually behind USB-C etc They have slowly switched everything to type-c connectors including ipad. BUT I personally think they are waiting to transition phones when the market over-all is saturated with the ports because of the mess and outrage over the switch from the pin connector. Apple is a big part of the USB Implementers Forum.
Before the move with iPhones with USB C charger, people where frustrated that if you buy an iPhone and a Mac you must BUY another cable to connect the iPhone to the Mac The solution : putting that cable in the iPhone box But know people are complaining because they can use their old charger brick because the cable is changed People are never happy x’D
People got angry because Apple used the same pathetic excuse to justify removing the charger in box. If they were so hellbent on providing a seamless experience, then why not ditch lightning altogether. Use a single charger for Mac iPad and iPhone.
If you’re referring to the older iPads, those come with 10W - 12W chargers and USB-A, which does charge iPhones much faster than the 5W brick However newer iPads have transitioned to USB-C 20W chargers The older iPhones (till 7) are able to take advantage of the 10W to charge faster While the newer iPhones (8, X, and up) are capable to fast charge with 18W / 20W
Another reason why they transitioned to USB c is probably cause of it being faster which makes USB type c fast chargers faster than USB type a fast chargers
The primary reason was to support usb power delivery I feel. As it requires type c connector on both ends. Though apple achieved this with lightning at one end.
Its amazing how much this video misses the obvious. Rather than speculate about Apple’s motives, the simple answer is that the USB specification limits the power available through a type A connector. To provide more than 5 watts of power, a device must use a type C connector and implement the USB Power Delivery specification.
@@princesethi5352 Just for the sake of change? Lol what? USB-C is superior to USB-A in almost every way, so clearly, it's not just for the sake of change. It's because it's actually worth transitioning to USB-C before we go all-wireless.
Anker charger offers more small compactness which is more portable where the pin can be folded when not in use, when compared with the 18 w iPhone charger. Can an 18 w charger be used with Apple Watch, AirPod without any issues. As I am using Anker nano ones to charge my iPhone but still using Apple 5 W charger for my Apple Watch n AirPod. Any advice will be valuable for me as it eases portability while travelling. Regards JM
Hello, the usb c to usb A adapter, what are you talking about? Is it possible to use the 20w apple charger to charge the iPhone? I guess that way the load will be slower.
If Apple were truely honest, they would have included a Type A to Type C adapter in the box so that users wont have to upgrade to new chargers as most of them didnt have a Type c charger.
To be fair to Apple in this. Iphone pros did come with the fast chargers and cables. iphone pro users typically are on upgrade every year plans. So most of the iphone pro market has the chargers and cables. Now the lower end market was a shit show in a lot of ways.
@@christopherfortney2544 i have a lot of friends across different regions with iPhone pro and none of them have upgraded every year as the software (most of hardware as well) is same. Considering the fact that usb c charger started with iphone 11 pro, it was purely profit what derived this decision to offset the increase cost of 5G. They also removed lightning to 3.5mm dongle a couple of years back and it became the highest selling accessory.
I think they should do it like the do with bands on the watch. U choose the watch and which band u want to go with it. When buying they should ask you what accessories you want. Would you like a brick and cable or not and if so which one. Then that way u can also opt not to get them
I like the idea move towards type C but not agree with lightning port still in iPhone though I like the lightning connector but on the the top of that type C is more convenient to use now days
This is similar to pad to tampons transition but like faster charging can damage for batteries in the long run , leaving a tampons inside for long period of time can have negative consequences.

Trading on your own is very risky I lost £2400 carelessly trading on a platform,,,, then I was referred to Antonio Ethan he recovered the loss and an extra profit of approximately of £6000
This all checks out, except now that they are shipping USB C-lightning cables with the new iPhones so as to be compatible with Macbook ports, why do they not also include the compatible USB C charging bricks? And where did those (wired) Earpods that used to be included in iPhone boxes go? I can't think of any explanation (other than Apple's greed)...
Technically you can use a type c to type a on the type c 18w Apple charger and on the anker PD nano 18w charger as well! I just wish apple would have this as a option to have a free adapter that came with the charger(optional) so it will work with the old chargers
Another reason why they transitioned to USB-C: USB-C simply offers more bandwidth than USB-A: Only 10W of power, I believe, can be transferred through a USB-A connection, but the USB-C connector can help transfer much more power (think of the 61W+ power bricks made for the MacBooks).
Videos you made like a year ago, which told a story, were longer and had more consistency, were much more interesting. I really enjoy the new animation style though and if you combine that to better content again, that’d be awesome.
More importantly, USB A doesn’t include fast charging feature. Only type-c fast charging Power delivery protocol is officially supported in USB standard.
the video starts with the fast charging explanation, but then you failed to mention that USB-A rev1.0 was capped at 4.5W of power delivery and most USB-A old cables are not compatible with fast charging. most USB-C cables support 60W power delivery and some may even support higher wattage up to 100W which is suitable for laptops etc... IMO, Apple transitioned to USB-C for cabling compatibility for fast charging more than just being compatible with their other devices.
I have the bigger brick for my 8th generation iPad and it’s annoying because if I break the charger I don’t know where I would find another especially cause we only have a Best Buy and phone store in my area but no apple stores but I’m glad my battery last longer than my old iPad
When I got my new iPhone 13, I had just switched from my old Samsung, so when I opened the box and saw the charger, I went into full panic since I didn’t have a SINGLE charging cube that supported usb c
