With the iPhone 14 no longer being sold the specs of the rumored SE 2025 make a lot more sense.

More speed is more heat is more battery wear.

"Starting today, all new mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, speakers, keyboards and many other electronics sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port," the EU Parliament wrote on social media X.

seems like probably yes!

I haven't read the legislation, but I get the thrust of it. They want to standardize cellular devices and also cut down on electronic waste. If it's specifically for cellular devices, then no it won't affect TI products. If it's more generally to cut back on electronic waste, then yes it will affect them.

Coming soon on an Amazon: Apple USB-C cable $20.99

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 9 points 3 months ago

I mean, Apple has been selling USB-C cables ever since they transitioned MacBooks to use Thunderbolt ports in 2016. And yes, they are expensive. But the whole point of standardized cables is that Apple may sell them for $100 if they want to, there will be others who will sell it for a reasonable price and Apple can't hold you hostage with their proprietary connector.

It’s not like Apple hasn’t had USB-C devices for 2 years now … where have you been?

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 9 points 3 months ago

8 years, actually.

Β£19 actually*.

(Or $24, if you’d prefer.)

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 3 months ago

What are they made of, hay? Apple cables were never this cheap.
