Why do people think iPhone 15 doesn't support USB 3.0 speeds (HW capable)? iPad Mini has A15 Bionic chip which is USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 (up to 5 Gbps). From: https://www.apple.com/my/ipad-mini/specs/
USB-C port needs to have controller. On video they clearly showed that A17 USB-C is SoC (on a chip). Are you implying that A15 doesn't have USB-C controller SoC?
At least I don't have to carry Lightning cable and can just borrow a friends cable if I forget. And next time you try to backup 256GB iPhone with no iCloud Photos - good luck with this painful experience on a premium product.
You underestimate the power of "defaults". Also one should question Apple why they don't ship Safari on Windows/Linux. They have all the resources available if they care. EU regulates and Apple is here to blame. Protecting their revenues (WebKit). It's only surprising it took this long to regulate. On the other hand US government is laughable at not doing any pro-consumer choices and getting bribes/sudden turns etc. EU here is leading here (protecting customers instead of companies)
#1, not if the EU does some action also against Google's monopoly, similar to how in the US Microsoft was almost split to 2 companies for the same reason
AV1 HW decoder on Apple A17 means it's also coming to M3 MacBooks. My only wish is that AV1 HW encoder will be added to M3 MB Pros. So far no reason for many people to upgrade from M1
