    Other See, Apple can be wrong (USB-C). What else needs a rethink?

    USB-C has been one of the best ‘moves’ Apple has made in recent times. Only issue is, it revealed how their stubbornness has set them back because they were made to convert. Where else has Apple missed the mark on for a long time now & needs immediate fixing in order to make the every day...

    iPhone 15/Plus iPhone USB-C loose - saw this coming

    Yup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector. Now it's confirmed: USB-C sucks. The connection is fragile at best: Mine is the same. Thanks, EU. You forced an inferior port on all of us. Horrible.
