It is.
Why would you be surprised if you participated in the class? Do you think there's still a chance that Apple will wiggle out of it?I'll be surprised if Apple sends me $65 but I'll take it.
Some of these rumor mongers have a pretty successful track record. They're not always right but more than a few have been right more than they have been wrong. If Apple has gone to the trouble of enabling MFi, you can pretty much bet that they intend to make use of it.
Have no idea. Didn't follow the suit. But actually, there are quite a few suits against Apple for all sorts of similar complaints. Deep pockets are big targets.
I do pay attention to some of the rumors, those where the source comes from someone working for a contractor who is developing the product but many are in violation of NDA too.
Lawsuits wouldn't survive appeal if there weren't something sinister going on. Deep pockets are supposed to protect you from that kind of stuff.
You're not dealing with a USB C outfitted iPhone. Your experience isn't representative.
What are the transition steps to get from T3 to M.2 in your experiment? M.2 (either NVME or M.2 SATA) is interfaced via something other than USB so there must be some additional interfacing in there (possibly included in the SSD itself) to get from USB to the SSD.
It's relative for my need and whether the iMAC requires some MFi certified USB C cable. But if we're limiting the discussion to iphone 15 Pro that isn't out yet then it's just a FUD topic because there is no evidence of anything you can prove is in play for the iphone 15 Pro series. Let's revisit this after the ip[hone 15 Pros are out. OK?
It isn't FUD. It is reasoned speculation based on a fairly reliable source and along with how other Apple devices with USB C ports have been mis-treated.
You have a habit of claiming certainty based on rumors and speculation. I suggest you just treat these all as possibilities of what might happen. Maybe you have no doubt that rumors are true and have no fear the possibility you are wrong. But the way I see it there are many rumors even from people you may trust, but until we see the actual evidence, rumors are just that, speculation.
This is fairly certain to slow things down. Are you deeply concerned that someone is going to clone your iMac?
18GB/minute works out to a little less than 2.5GBps which is around half what one might expect of USB C 3.2 Gen 1 (5Gbps). Chances are pretty good that it is maxing out your SSD since writes are typically slower.
I'm not claiming certainty. I'm connecting the dots and placing a relatively high likelihood on what Apple may do to drive people to choose the Pro models over the more pedestrian models.
OK then you just feel it is high probability Apple will cripple the speed of the standard iphone 15 to push the pro models. Based on rumors, there are other parts of the pro versions that will be speed boosters as well so making the claim that MFI or USB C throttle is causing a slower iphone than the pro version will be difficult to prove. The way I see it, people will gravitate to the Pro version when they desire what the Pro version offers, not so much the speed of the USB C port but the other features including larger screen size, camera features and battery size at the top of my list.
I, too am seeing shorter battery on my iphone 11 Pro Max but since I don't use it much except for quick photos and short video, I could deal with needing to put it on the charger every night. The Battery health shows 80% of new so that isn't that bad. I really want the new rumored camera.
Apple will replace an iPhone 12 battery for $89. Are they not successful with this service?
I did apple’s service with my iPhone 6. It was ultimately successful in that they gave me another phone to replace the first, but the original phone was never right after the repair.
I rarely enjoy someone getting screwed over by Apple (unless they were really asking for it).
Apple has the battery with the programmable chip and that equipment to program the chip to your phone.
I've done ipad repairs with that sealed screen and it is not difficult with the iOpener you heat up in the microwave. Then there is the pliers with suction cups to separate the screen from the frame. It's a slow process. I'm careful with my stuff but the grandkids seem to have all the problems with breaking them.
