    Cable Charger compatibility (Apple included)

    So I saw Apple has new braided USB-C cables! But the 1m cable is just 60W instead of 100W... Now, hypothetically... What if I only want to carry around one charger and one cable for iPhone, iPad and Mac... What if I use the shorter 1m braided 60W cable with a 96W charger and my MacBook Pro...

    iPhone 15/Plus USB-C iPhones seem not to be compatible with some USB-C cables

    There were rumors before the release of iPhone 15 which say that Apple made the iPhone's USB-C port only accept MFI USB-C cables, while after the release, I didn't find any clarification about this rumor. So I opened the Apple Store app, where Apple sells third-party accessories including USB-C...

    Other iPhone 15 Pro Questions

    Hi! Hopefully someone can help answer a couple of questions I have about the iPhone 15 Pro: 1. If I buy a 10Gbps USB-C cable, is that going to make the iPhone 15 Pro setup much quicker since I will be restoring from an encrypted backup on my MacBook Pro? 2. If the answer to question 1 is yes...

    Other iPhone 15 Recommendations for Lightning to USB-C Adapters?

    It seems like it would be handy to re-purpose lightning cables for USB-C. Are there are any inexpensive and reliable adapters available?

    Now it’s no longer just the E.U. https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/09/saudi-arabia-usb-c-mandatory/ Now we just need some big fines going Apple’s way when they inevitably bastardize it with some new MFi none-sense. We’re probably going to get USB 2.0 speeds from all our current USB-C to USB-C and...

    27" LED Cinema Display to Mac Studio

    I'm upgrading from a 2013 Mac Pro to the new M2 Ultra Mac Studio and I have 2 27" LED Cinema Displays that I want to keep. In theory it should be as easy as connecting Mini DisplayPort to USB-C converters between the displays and the Mac Studio, but someone in another forum said that for...

    SSD performance in Docking Station much lower than expected

    I have a Sabrent DS-SC4B Docking Station connected to my Mac Studio via USB-C. In it there are 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, which I previously used in my old 2010 Mac Pro. I expected the drives to perform better in the new enclosure since they are now connected via SATA 3, while before it was SATA 2 in...

    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 multitouch trackpad for iPad Pro

    For a specific use case, I would need a USB-C multitouch touchpad for iPad Pro. Does anyone know if there are any other options than the Magic Trackpad using wired USB connection? Apple documentation is not clear whether such device must be MFi-compliant, or if a generic multitouch touchpad...

    iPad New Apple Pencil 1 - solely with USB-C connector

    I recently bought an iPad (10th gen) and plan to buy an Apple Pencil. Does Apple plan to release a new version of the 1st gen Apple Pencil with solely a USB-C connector? I think having a lightning to USB-C adapter with the actual 1st gen Apple Pencil is very inelegant for the 10th gen iPad...
