Why iPhones Don't Use USB-C 

many*

And these same weird decisions make the company one if not the most famous and most successful company in the world will 😂

@@racerguy3972 Nope, the reason they are successful is that they cornered the market on the first popular touch sensitive slab computer and know how to make a cult out of waiting every year for the next incrementally updated electronic slab. All the other stuff like keeping their own weird connector and not including a charger is just to make money and wouldn't fly if they weren't so dominant.

@@archieames1968 I know that nowadays we are made fun of saying this, called Apple fanboy etc, but for me Apple is the best electronics company in the world at all levels be it design, power, camera, the dictation of new trends and especially the Apple's big strength that makes it light years away from competitors is the ecosystem, which is why it is the most dominant, sold is famous electronics company

@@racerguy3972 I’m definitely not saying that Apple is 100% bad, I’m writing this comment using an iPad Pro so I use their products and I like them, but still, they do make some weird and meaningless decisions we can’t deny that.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Bro literally the only reason if they made the transition they are upgrading the capabilty of the connector. I understand his first point a bit but thats apples fault for not keeping the bulky design for a little longer they recieved more backlash over that then they would have if they kept the og connector and then went right to usb c

When you make 100+ Billions, millions is a rounding error

@@TERASSI so why charge a licensing fee, period? DERP

@@maximumoverdrive2219 highly doubt they care about the “backlash”. This is the same company that told us we were holding our phones wrong when they designed their phone poorly, haha. No matter what, they’re going to get blacklash when they change it. If anything they’re making it worse for keeping it this long, just to change it.

This dude is so full of sh!t lmao. He is not even making any sense. Apple decided to not go with the Type C in order for not getting any backlash in 2014, ok fine now it's been 10 years and they even changed the charge battery speed so people would anyway change they power bricks and cables so why not use that chance? Plus they didn't stutter a second when they had to remove the brick even if they had just changed the cable to Type C - lighting all of a sudden, forcing people to get a new brick that wasn't included in the box if they wanted to use the new cable lmao, all this for the environment and yet they are now opting to transition to a wireless charger that is much lesser eco-friendly since like 40% of the energy is wasted entirely. This is all bullcrap, don't act like there aren't adapters from Micro USB to Type C for people to keep their old cable, they could provide the adapter in the box for the first year to ease the transition from lighting to Type C, plus I'm sure if they included a Type C in the box they would get almost no backlash since now Type C is the most common cable and many people who use iPhones also use iPads now own a Type C cable so they wouldn't be that mad to have a better cable included. All in all this is just bullshit to justify Apple, but the only reason they keep lighting is because the sales of the cables and the royalties they earn from lighting accounts for billions of dollars in revenue each year, and who the f cares about the environment or customers if they earn billions from it, and the same is gonna be for magsafe since its their patent again. He is fooling million of people with this video that lacks a lot of common sense.

*iPhone 15:* Let me introduce myself

me and i have iphone 15 plus

Also the extra packaging buying a new brick and the fact that you'll end up having two bricks anyway

@@thanosman3491 im sure though less than half of iPhone users buy a charging brick unless they are dumb. Apple was right thatq majority of consumers throw away their bricks when they got a new one. A lot of consumers refuse to use their old stuff cause they think they need a new one. So ignore my first sentence.

wireless chargers last longer than wired chargers, since wired chargers fray. I guess you can consider wireless to be environmentally friendly since it doesn't cause as much stuff to be in landfills.

@@andrewkim2013 less stuff? What about the actual wireless charging pad which connects to the cord

@@thanosman3491 i don't think those charging pads get broken as quickly as a charging wire. I agree with you guys that they're saying "it's for the environment" when it's really for the money. But there are some ways that wireless charging is more environmental than wired charging

And iPad Air now

Yeah bc im gonna get both and i have to have different cards

You have to remember that iPhones and iPads are mostly used for different tasks

@@JPS13Laptop They're still being very anti-consumer. It's one thing having a different charger to other companies. But having different chargers between your own devices (and many people will have both IPhone and iPad), is just plain ridiculous.

@@HarryParkin I mean I have to say I'm not surprised. Apple won't do something if they don't think it's needed or they can't do it the way that they want to. Also I take it that Apple switching the iPad over to USB-C wasn't an easy call either.

USB-C has a male & female connection on both sides of the port, this makes it alot more prone to debris than a solid male to female connection like lightning. Apple chooses to keep lightning because it is more durable. Example: take a cup of dirt or sand, jam a USB-C cable into it and try to plug it into a port.. it won't, it will be clogged because it has that female end on both sides. You can do that same thing with a lightning cable, shake it off real quick and easily still plug it into the phone, this is once again because it is a solid male connection, there's no "hole" on the inside of the lightning port like there is USB-C. This is a test that has actually been done internally, Now alot of people simply think about ohhhhh what charges faster?! The fact is the majority of people don't need a 65w megacharge or whatever, most people just charge their phones at night. So in order for the phone to last for several years, it is a better long-term view for Apple to use a solid male connection (such as lightning) over a male+female combo connection like USB-C. Samsung plans on you replacing your phone every year, that's why they barely get 1-2 years of updates, whereas Apple is STILL updating the iPhone 6s from 2015.. Apple looks more at long term durability than any other manufacturer does. EDIT: Someone may ask "but why then use USB-C for the non-pocketable devices like iPad?" Good question, that was done since non-pocketable devices such as the iPad are alot less prone to debris/lint than a phone that is always in a pocket that may become dirty. That's why the iPhone specifically needs that solid male to female connection, and seems to work fine for iPads as they generally never leave the home. Unfortunately if Apple buckles to the pressure and puts USB-C on iPhone, you would see a drop in the overall durability of the iPhone over years.

@@brewergamer That is an interesting thought, but I don't think that it is convincing. First off, although the cable is male, the phone port is female. The point about the iPhone itself beeing more durable is therefore not valid. Only the cable is more durable as a male connector. That can be replaced and has nothing to donwith how pockatable the device is. Also, the lightning cable is insanely slow by nowadays standards. That is just not worth it and for antablet that is supposed to work as anwork station, it is too inferior.

They were forced by law. Video aged just fine?

don't underestimate the power of lobbying and money :')

@@neolordie That doesn't work in Europe. They already have a law to make electric car chargers universal, no more proprietary bs plus it will help to standardize charging stations.

@@May16Joe well check out iphone 13 line up still using lightening.. Even if they force I am pretty much sure they will remove the connector port itself.. Again don't underestimate the power of money..

@@vamsikrishna1995 they just introduced the legislation, and according to it, for charging for more than than 15W a connector port must be available. So Apple cannot simply remove the port unless they want all iPhones to wireless charge at slow speeds.

I don’t see why people are angry about lightning on them. You buy their product, you pay for differences. The lightning charger is theirs and you own an iphone so just use it

@@evanshireman5644 the point is that theres no good reason for them to use lightning anymore except to force iphone users to get a different charger

@@Maxawa0851 but you don't have to get a "different" charger, you own an iphone so it wouldn't be different to the phone.

@@evanshireman5644 because pretty much every other product does not use lightnjng and instead opts for usb c.

@Suleiman you think? The guy is the definition of an apple fanboy

Yeah, not to mention that going portless is going to cause even more backlash, and all the old accessories are going to become obsolete that way as well.

Yeah apple does not seem to care about backlash.

They dont wanna change because if they change to USB-C, they cant monopolize the sales for that because USB-C is everywhere. Its all about money

Even as an Apple fan, why did there have to be lightning cables, just use USB-C

@@mr.preston1632 The USB-C standard wasn't ready by the time they wanted to ditch the 30-pin in the iPhone 5 (was too thick), and they didn't want to wait 2 years until it would be released.

@JERRY tm exactly, people also have to buy separate wires, cases and probably headphones. Just imagine how much plastic and boxes are used.

@JERRY tm if 100 people buy a new iphone, 25-30 of them would buy a charging brick. but if you put it back into the box, it's more waste of space. also an example. i'm gonna by a new iphone next month, (i am using iphone 7 right now), and i have a 30W charger from my ipad, i don't need a new one.

@Brewergamer and lightning ports cant get dirty? I have a few problems with this. First, Planned obsolescence is something that most phone companies have been doing for literal years at this point, Samsung does it, LG did it I'm fairly sure Google does it, and yes, Apple does it. Apple wants you to buy the newest phone every year too. They flat out admitted to throttling older phones with software updates. Second, USB-C is much more durable and dust resistant than you give it credit for, I have a switch, which uses USB-C and its dock has been sitting with the port facing up, without a cover, for almost a year, the connection not only works, but fits in just as well as it did when i bought the thing, and i bought it for playing handheld specifically. Third, USB-C is not just about power delivery, its about data transfer as well. right now it takes nearly an hour to back up my phone to itunes, which makes sense because lightning is stuck with USB 2.0 speeds. USB-C is a USB 3.0/3.1/whatever USB is naming their standards compliant standard, meaning it can transfer data much faster than the 480MBit/s that lightning offers. 10Gbit/s is the max for USB 3.1 gen 2)

Too right... This guy will excuse Apple for everything they do and give a supposed reason. Lame.

Exactly I clicked the video just to see the comments. Did not disappoint.

Bruh 😂

@Waxy mix except in this case the answer literally is they want money.

@Waxy mix They'd switch already if it wasn't money. Go look up how much they make from mifi.

@@Skikoplit’s sarcasm smart one. Kinda like this one: man you are really smart!!!

😂

Yeah, pretty much everyone has a type-c in their homes, even apple users. Fuck Apple.

@lola baldo no, i don't believe you. If it's because you use only apple, even some apple products have type-c connectors, so it's impossible you never heard of them. But all of this doesn't matter since, if it's true, you still represent an exception.

@lola baldo oh. I understand now. Is that your first phone? Sorry for my previous comment, if that's the case 😓

I think what the video meant was that if they switched to USB-C in 2014, only two years after switching to Lightning, that would be a PR nightmare as it’s a big ask to your consumers to potentially switch cables twice in the span of 3 years. So they chose to wait out on USB-C while other Android phones took the lead in that. But by the time it would’ve been enough time that it would make sense to make another switch, Apple was just was no longer interested in switching. Both because so many other companies “beat them to the punch” but also because that way they can feed into their idea of an isolated Apple ecosystem. It’s impossible to leave the ecosystem without ditching every single Apple product you own, nowadays, and lightning still being used in a lot of their products is a symptom of that business strategy. But sure, if they were to switch to it in the next iPhone, it would no longer be a PR nightmare because it has been an entire decade since lighting, and they sort already started a kind of transition with the iPhone 12, and the iPad and MacBook lineups. But it’s clear that USB-C is not the direction their going for with the future of iPhones.

@lola baldo usb c from a dollar store is fast,while lightning at the dollar store is.WELL CRAP.

Well it technically is a innovation for iPhone, right?

You wouldn’t have USB-C without Apple at all.

They are never adding USB C to the iPhone.

Indeed

I’m looking from reliability and longevity of lighting and usb-c, lightning cable and port are way more durable than usb-c, after some time devices which I used with usb-c starting to be loose, shaking and at some point you need to pay more attention how you hold the device while charging or transferring data, because the connection is not that strong as from the beginning. Such a problem I never had with lightning cable/port. I need to mention also that I’m using better fabric covered lightning cables.

@@Di.Iv.555 and you have to be careful of the fragile thing in the port. Put something inside accidentally, break it and you’re screwed. Isn’t female port a male port on usb c since the little thing goes inside the cable? Lol I use to have cases that plugged the ports can’t do that with usbc

@@Di.Iv.555 I've experienced the exact opposite. I replace lightning cables every 3 months or so.

@@Gabifuertes he’s not talking about the cable but the connection. Lightning is more durable since there’s no little thing in the female side

Unless, they make a lightning to usb-c adapter or keep supporting lightning until it fades, it won’t work well

Just the money part I believe. If they didn't want to deal with backlash, they wouldn't have ever used proprietary ports to begin with.

Do the same thing with a lightning cable, you will still be able to plug it into your device, as lightning is a solid male connection. I tried to make it as elementary as I could for ya.

@@sheru_k I heard that they are going to have the shipping company get rid of the box that they are sending the phone in; With no boxes and no phones, the environmental impact will be virtually zero!

@@cinnabonbon Ah shit! Y'all shouldn't be giving them these ideas

Ok. Please no comment wars here but they do upgrades. I’m a collector who runs benchmarks on a lot of devices, and the performance is better. And they also upgrade the design (for examle iPhone 12). And no, I’m not an Apple fan. I have android phones too. The reason I use iPhone is because developers can optimize it more for a single brand instead of a lot of brands.

@@kernel378 I agree that the benchmark scores look better on each version, but does it really make a significant difference in day to day use? Most of us use their smartphones for instagram, Facebook or youtube.

Well it’s also Samsung

@@Levi4084 samsung doesn't make money off of USB C

And they deserve it, apple helping develop Usb c means faster charging for every goddamn android user. So what if they're milking it? You know it's gonna be thrown out soon anyway and everyone's gonna be charging wirelessly in the future

@@dylanwhisnant6772 No, but they do make money off of wireless earbuds.

You don’t understand
