    Usb-c is going to be a big deal for connecting devices to the phone. Now I don’t need to have some studios lightning adapter to plug in a usb drive or to get video out.

    I look forward to experimenting with different things connected to see how they work. I’m curious how video out is handled. But I’m guessing I’ll be disappointed in most cases.

    I expect being able to connect a usb drive will be helpful though.

      Android users welcome you to 2017…

      …or not. Apple will limit USB-C to USB 2.0 speeds so… good luck with that.

          Seems that it comes down to Apple adding a USB 3 controller in the A16 A17 chip where the A15 A16 did not have one embedded. They’d otherwise need to have an external controller to add support in the non-pro phones which is easier said than done when dealing with a phone. Annoying but understandable at least.

        Pro models support up to 10 gigs per second which is a touch more than 2.0

        Honestly I am fine with it. It looks like they did not have the usb3 controller built into the cpu until they made the 17 and m1 chips. To be honest, I am not going be moving any large files between the phone and a flash drive, at most a short video. The slower speeds will not bother me.
