Apple Pre-Event Mega Thread
It’s almost that time! With the Apple event happening tomorrow, we’ll use this mega thread to talk about expectations, predictions, and anything else related to the big event.
Tomorrow, we’ll have a live event thread to discuss each announcement as it happens.

Curious to see what they cripple with usbc. And if they’re updating every lightning port product to usbc too. Be interesting if all phones will get the pill/dynamic island treatment. Hope it’s useful and not a gimmick when more apps support it
Most other Apple products already use USBC and have for a while. It's only the iPhone they've been dragging their feet on.
Except magic mouse, keyboard, trackpad and airpods. Did I miss something?
Airpods will have a USB C case announced
Also the Apple TV remote
Latest version is USBC as well
Ahh good to know. The ones I have, and one that a mate recently bought are lightning.
I think it will be hilarious to watch them continue forcing their phones to communicate with USB2.0 speeds even after the move to USB-C just so they can push more people to buy overpriced iCloud storage. It will be 2060 and we will still have USB 2.0 on our apple phones.
Most people haven’t transferred data between their iPhone and a computer using a cable in how many years? And USB2.0 isn’t the reason they haven’t. It’s that iCloud syncing is vastly more user friendly and, quiet frankly, effortless.
I’m actually ok with Thunderbolt speeds being only for the Pro phones. That’s where it makes sense to upcharge for it.
in 2060 the iphone will be the only piece of technology still using USB 2.0, a functioning reminder of the past
I assume that the not pro iPhone will loose it’s port in the next 5 years completely.
