USB-C!
So innovative! So brave!

If only. Forced to do so by the EU. Rumors were that they'd rather give up on a wired connection than concede, but I guess the tech wasn't up to speed on that.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I was sensing sarcasm from Dan's post.

They already gave up wired headphones, so getting rid of a charging cable makes sense, however I believe the EU, and maybe a country in South America- though I don't remember which one- require that if a piece of technology is being sold, it needs to include the ability to charge itself. So they would have to include the charging brick or wireless charger that plugs in, and they won't do that.

That was Dan’s sarcasm.

Then they lose out on selling cables for a fat premium.

How does their current offering (USB-C cable + iPhone 15) meet this requirement you’re suggesting is in place in those jurisdictions? I think you’re missing something.

Yup, and cables are $$ (with high margins), wireless isn't a cable they can sell. The 15 Max Pro can take some fancy video that could be saved directly to external storage (using USB-C), and also raw photos that could be piped directly to a computer for editing in realtime

I have a certain Israeli number that I sent text messages to when I had an Israeli SIM in my phone.
The Israeli carrier I was using forced me to use the local format. Now whenever I try to send an sms to that number from the US, the iPhone converts the number to a local Israeli format (starting with 0) even if I enter the entire number using international dialing format (+972...) resulting in me being unable to send text messages to that number.

Anyone have a solution for this?
Save to contacts with the American version or delete the old conversation might work

It was Brazil, not the EU.

Deleting thread didn't help. I think I might have tried saving a contact, but I will try again.

I’m not sure how USB-C is any different than the lightning cable in this regard, please explain.

Does it matter if they aren’t including a standard USB brick (like the lightning cables use) or a USB-C brick?

I just decided I’d ask this:
Which iPhone app do you think is more useless:
Shortcuts
Or Freeform

They prob are good ideas in general but really no one knows when and how to use them
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible
