TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.
That’s a lot of speculation for a single cable
But it’s the bestest cable they have ever made
Only for uk though you know damn well they’ll sell lightning phones in the U.S. because they’ll never be forced to change
Having more SKUs is harder and more expensive to maintain; they will sell the inclusion of USB-C as a way to unify their charger across their platforms and to add Thunderbolt to the Pro models.
I really hope it has USB-C so I can finally get an iPhone. It blows my mind that all of their other devices adopted USB-C while they stick with lightning for their phones.
Jesus, it’s a cable.
It’s a usb-c cable.
This is the last portable device I had that wasn’t usb-c.
I guess I’m one of the few people who prefers wireless charging. I haven’t used a cable in my phone for years
I like mag safe at time, but USB C charging is faster, less hot, not as bulky in the hand, and requires less outlets if everything in your home is using the same port, etc.
It’s also wasteful if that is something you care about.
I guess I don’t need to use my phone when it’s charging as much as most people, or maybe just don’t use my phone as much period
I don’t like that in order to use my phone while it’s charging on a wireless charger, I need to pick up the whole wireless charger, wire and all, and then it kind of defeats the purpose.
I think it doesn’t work well for people who need to have their phones in their hands at all times (me).
It’s also extremely energy inefficient.
It really comes down to the way you use it. As others have mentioned you don’t even need one to get the job done. And it’s true that beyond a certain length it’s sort of impractical; mostly just for show.
In all seriousness, being that they’re using standard C ends, I’m a little surprised they’re going to include one at all.
… I don’t know what you mean that beyond a certain length it’s impractical. I keep 6-10ft USB C cables everywhere. I view 3 feet as the minimum useful length to me, at least because honestly much shorter than I don’t even have a place to rest my phone while it charges. I was looking at even getting a 15-20 foot cable for my living room since all my outlets are kinda far from the couch.
It was a dick joke
For the price you pay for the iPhone it should include a 10m cord on a reel. Nice that it’s finally braided though. Never had a Apple charging cable that wouldn’t deteriorate.
Honestly, too long. I think 8” really is the sweet spot. I hate long cables!
8 inches??
There’s no way an 8 inch cable works for you. 8 inches wouldn’t even span the distance from my car charger to a phone clamp or from my computer to my desk.
3 ft is barely tolerable for me. 6 feet gives me enough room to move my phone around.
8 would work for my desk, my car, my bed and the one that sits on my counter. 3ft is too much cord and I end up with a lot hanging. 6ft is definitely too much.
Then again I don’t use anything when it’s charging, so my use case is out of the norm
