I'm still flabbergasted about this.
So I can use Apple's MacBook Pro USB-C charging adapter/ cable with their competitor and charge my Samsung Galaxy s8 and with actual fast charging.
- But the same Apple MBP adapter/ cable isn't compatible with their own iPhones.
- Even if I got an adapter/ dongle the fast charging probably still wouldn't work on iPhone X and you'd need the actual fast charging adapter for an additional $70-80.
- I can use Samsung's provided headphones on my MBP but not Apple's as there's no lightning port on the MBP and the iPhone 8/X does not use industry standard USB-C.
- I can plugin my Samsung Galaxy S8 to the MBP directly out of the box with the USB-C cable but Apple's own iPhones aren't compatible with the MBP without a dongle.
This is insane.
Does Tim Cook & Jony Ive realize this?
Apple was all about simplicity and ease of use.
I guess now it's just about stupid Animojis.
- Extra money for a fast charger is fucking woeful when outfits like OnePlus provide one out the box with a phone that costs half of an iPhone. Aaaand cue mono...face_melter
- If you're paying for an iphone, it's the equivalent of paying for those yeezy trainers. There's no practicality, you're just paying for the brand. More fool youset
- No I don't own an iPhone, switched to Samsung/ Android since 2013 for many reasons. Just think it's funny how Apple's own stuff isn't compatible together.M01XXX
- it isset
- Seriously, nobody uses cables to connect phones anymore. Just get on WiFi and sync that shit in the background like a normal person.monospaced
- Not saying you’re wrong about cables. That shit is stupid. But still. Cmon.monospaced
- mono, that's a stupid excuse. Leave the sync out. Just the charging & headphones connectivity isn't compatible between iPhone & MacBooks.M01XXX
- My google pixel 2 doesn’t have a headphone port either.monospaced
- That's not what I'm talking about. Apple uses Lightning port for charging/ headphones on iPhones but USB-C & standard headphone jack on their MacBooks.M01XXX
- I said you’re right about the cables btw.monospaced
- I agreed and said, verbatim, “that shit is stupid.”monospaced
- why are android users always complaining about apple?inteliboy
- go to any tech website, or tech youtube video, or anything - and there are just countless people ranting about how apple sucks. including qbn.inteliboy
- I type this on a MacBook Pro. So no, I'm not an 'Android fan boy'. In fact I wish iPhoneX was so good it made me switch but it it still isn't good.M01XXX
- The fact that Apple's own products aren't compatible fully out of the box together is what's so annoying too.M01XXX
- They are. Wirelessly.monospaced
- That was partly a jokemonospaced
