    It’s just a phone. Here’s an idea: You don’t have to rush out to pathologically buy the latest thing that Apple makes. You and Apple don’t owe each other shit. If your old phone works, stick with it. And if the new iPhone doesn’t do it for you, just fuckin’ buy something else.

    Also:

    The latest range of iPhones did feature a number of changes from previous models – most notably switching from the company’s lightning charger to USB-C. Apple said that it had no choice but to make the change after coming under pressure from European regulators to adopt the standard.

    However, this new feature has also attracted criticism from fans because it limits users to just one action at a time.

    So, I have never in my life had to try this (because my Moto Z4 has both a headphone jack and USB-C port) but I just tried it for grins using a USB-C hub with PD passthrough I had lying around and yes, my existing 4 year old phone can charge and use another USB device – or four – simultaneously just fine. This is 100% on Apple for intentionally crippling their shit out of spite and has nothing to do with USB-C.

    TL;DR: Just don’t buy the new iPhone, then. I manage to consistently not buy the new iPhone on a daily basis. It’s not that hard.

      This article isn’t even relevant to anything. It’s just quotes from like… 5 people who posted on twitter that they were disappointed. That’s not a useful sample size, and who cares about some strangers opinion on something that isn’t for them? It’s just weird how many of these articles are coming out saying “these users” think this.

      In reality, it’s more like “these cherry picked tweets match my narrative for this click bait article that will spur divisive discussion”.
