Seems a little early doesn't it? I know the iPhone 15 and 16 have a USB type C, but don't they still sell devices that have the lighting port?
Yup, iPhone SE 3 for example
I thought so.
I mean if you’re buying the apple version sold on their website a 5x market value instead of an off brand one that’s on you.
It's $10 and high quality. How much do you think you're saving with a junk off brand one?
You got a point, and I looked on amazon. Most bundle 2 or 3 into one, and the price is around $10 with a few above and not many below. I did find a 2 pack for $5. so I guess 50% because that's definitely the one I would buy.
And when it's junk out of the box because random no-name Amazon cables are universally terrible?
Can confirm it is terrible. I bought a pack from Amazon and both of them have terrible DAC artifact noises. Should have gone with the Apple one.
Unironically, the Apple USB-C DAC is the best you can buy for that price. You’d have to go for something double or triple its price to get the same performance from any other dongle, specially at that size.
The off brand ones are noisy and sounds like shit, the apple one was worth the money over that shit.
True
I don't think they do, iirc the watches and ipads both use type c
What about the iphone SE?
They still make the SE?
I think so, the SE 3. With that said i won't swear to that because I hardly ever look at Apple. I have been an Android user for more than a decade now and so have very little reason to keep up with their products other than they flagship.
