    USB C Magic Keyboard feels different

    I recently got a new USB C Magic Keyboard from Best Buy, and it’s got me wondering if there’s a difference between it and my old lightning Magic Keyboard. The keys on the new one don’t feel as satisfying when I press them down. They seem a bit mushy compared to the old one. Is this because it’s...

    USB-C vs thunderbolt monitor

    Hi there folks, got a debate going on for my future computer on what type of monitor to get. I plan on buying a new Mac mini M2 and I am not sure if I want to spend a lot of money on a 5K monitor. I seemed pretty content with a 4K but I been reading most of them are USB-C ready but not...

    iPhone 15/Plus Headphone jack closure

    Now we've moved to USB-C entirely, I'm finally content with the headphone jack being removed. Yes, I use AirPods most of the time but sometimes it's nicer/quicker/more convenient just to plug something in and have it work. With the new USB-C earpods, I finally have a single pair of headphones...

    AirPods Pro 2 USB-C - Hearing own voice buzz on calls

    Recently got the USB-C APP2, and I'm finding that with ANC enabled, I hear an almost buzz-like echo of my voice intermittently while speaking on phone calls. It doesn't seem to happen if I just talk while the headphones are in, it's only while actively using the microphones for a conversation. I...

    Do you all think this is safe...

    So we all know that some companies hide their dirt regarding security issues. Given this fact, it is with hesitation that I purchase items that I have had my eye on. I'm hoping to get feedback regarding my concerns as to whether or not I can trust these items for network connectivity, and...

    Is it worth buying Apple usb-c to lightning cables?

    The cable that came with my iPhone 11 is broken and I need a new one, not only for charging but also for backups to my Mac. Because of the backups I am interested in (data) reliability, otherwise I'd certainly buy a much cheaper third party cable. Is there a difference? Can third party cables...

    USB C Magic Mouse and Keyboard - When?

    I just can't see spending 300.00 on a keyboard and mouse that uses a lighting connector to charge. Anyone have any thoughts on when Apple might release a new version of these devices?

    Hi, I'm running macOS Monterey 12.6.2 on my macbook pro retina with touchbar (2016). Since a few days it no longer recognizes an external screen via any of my 4 USB C ports.

    Anyone know why the M1 Air only pulls 5W from a 5V/2.4A charger?

    I have an Anker USB 3.0 (USB Type A) charger that can output 5V/2.4A for a maximum of 12W per port. When I charge my iPhone with a USB-A to Lightning cable, it pulls the full 12W. But when I use a USB 3.0 Type A to USB-C cable to charge my M1 MacBook Air, it only pulls 5W from the charger...

    MagSafe 3 or USB C

    From what I've read so far, it seems that MagSafe is merely faster at charging than USB C. However, I currently use a MBP 2019, with USB C, and all my accessories work with it fine. Would it not be better to merely stick with a USB C MBP, versus a MagSafe one? Was thinking of upgrading my MBP...

    Hi everyone, I was reading an article about the new USB 2.1 spec and how it can power up to 240 watts using just a single USB-C cable. I read that the USB organization said that the new spec should be arriving in laptops by the end of this year. What do you guys think the likelihood of the spec...
