It's that time of year again, folks. As the tech world has sights set on the latest Apple event that is producing the new iPhone 16 as we speak, we all know we'll be seeing slightly improved phones, some impressive specs, and a few 'innovative" or "magic" new features from Apple. For me, however, the...
Not only do they have RCS, but they finally got USB-C across the iPhone 16 lineup!

You aren’t wrong, I just read the headline and the comments. However, my comment isn’t about anything in this article.
Oh yeah i know, I’m talking about articles in general. When the EU gave Apple the command to either comply or pack up, they initially expressed disdain before eventually succumbing.

Might not be true, I read it back when they first announced USB-C, and I can’t find anything about it right now.
They switched to USB-C last year with the iPhone 15.

I can’t remember the last time I connected my phone to my computer via USB to transfer files. I bet the vast majority are the same.
More than likely, I’m sure a majority of iPhone users don’t care or even notice this. I personally would have loved to see the ability to add fast expandable storage to an iPhone over usb! I usually load movies, shows, podcasts and music on my phone since unfortunately there tends to be very limited connection to cell towers where I am.
