Apple is a unique company in the world, both for good and bad, in the same way that it is capable of getting the most powerful processors in the world for its Macs and iPhones and, then, making mistakes like the ones they have had. place on the iPhone. Do you want to know what they are? Keep reading and we’ll tell you everything.
Tortoise Speed USB-C
It is appreciated that Apple has finally included the standard USB-C connector on its iPhone, since if memory serves, it is the only device on the market that it did not have, that is the type of connection. Most surprising of all is that Apple was one of the first companies in the world to support this type of technology because they incorporated it in the 2016 MacBook Pro. However, in the iPhone they have always been very reluctant.
Now, the worst of all comes when we analyze the USB-C compatibility and the speed rate of each of them. Specifically, the iPhone 15 Pro has third-generation USB-C with transfers up to 20 times faster, while the standard series has a transfer speed similar to Lightning.
But wait because we still have something worse, since the USB-C cable for higher speed transfers is purchased separately and for a price of 79 euros. Had Apple lowered prices? No, Apple has changed the price, but if you buy the cable, it has even raised it.
60Hz display
I had minimal hope that Apple would improve the panel of the standard iPhone 15 due to the dynamic island inclusion. However, it’s my fault for believing that Apple was going to improve this panel, keeping it at 60 Hz for another year, but no, Apple considers that an 856 euro phone has the same refresh rate as three years ago.
This is a detail that many people in the sector are not able to see or value, however, when you use an iPhone or a device with a higher refresh rate, I assure you that it shows. It’s like True Tone, it’s never there, but when you remove it it’s very noticeable.
Apple gives no reason why reduces the refresh rate of this iPhone segment and it is not because it would break the price scale, since there are mid-range devices that have very high refresh rates. Apple doesn’t add it because they don’t feel like it.
Lack of content
Surely there will be some readers who do not understand it or are against it, but the climate change It is real and the consequences that we are experiencing from the uncontrolled pollution of the main countries are getting worse. Apple has always been one of the companies that has been most concerned about the environment since the time of Steve Jobs. However, dedicating a third of the iPhone 15 presentation to talking about the importance of the environment and that its devices are manufactured with zero CO2 emissions shows that Apple did not have much to offer in this keynote.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but manufacturing a zero-emissions device in 2023 is practically impossibleespecially because the moment you have to transport components or simply transport millions of units by ship, you are generating atrocious pollution.
