iPhone 13 discussions

I’ll charge it with my own fanaticism.

It’s almost time for me to upgrade my iPhone 8.

I have the XR which is still fine but think I'll get the 13 just to annoy people on here. USB-C is not a biiiiiig deal thinking of it now, I only use the port for charging anyway and the only time it would really be useful to have type C is in cases where I want to charge my phone via laptop (due to load shedding I guess). So one less cable to carry around

I've made peace with having USB-C and lightning cables everywhere I spend time. Hopefully after it's time for my next upgrade in 2025 the whole portless thing will be well established.
 
I read an article where someone explained why Apple is not in a hurry to change over to USB-C for the iPhones.

They needed more space inside the phones at some stage and that is why they moved from the 45-pin connector to Lightning. At that time USB-C was not available yet. The move, however, upset a lot of customers who spent a lot of money on accessories over the years which used the 45-pin.

Soon after the move to Lightning, USB-C became available but Apple didn’t want to make a move to another connector so soon, which would have upset customers all over again for the same reason.

So they plan to keep Lightning around for a while still.

I have a wireless charger at my bedside and a wireless power bank for other times I need a top up. Like at my desk or even just in the evening if I'm on the couch or whatever. I love the size of the 12 mini and knew I'd take a a hit on screen time after moving from the 11, but I'm so used to it now and can't actually remember the last time I plugged it into a cable.
 
Currently have an XS. Would be very keen on the 13 Pro for that 120hz goodness

In the same boat, but I'm wondering if the 120hz and the cameras are really worth the update?
probably not "worth" TBH in day to day, but I will justify it because my wife's 6s needs upgrading :ROFL:
