As a part of the Hardware staff right here at TechCrunch, I like me a great Apple occasion, and this one was, er, eventful. I’m an energetic human who loves Scuba diving, so the Apple Watch Ultra looks like an underwater match made in heaven. The new iPhone Pro’s cameras and the truth that Apple has been taking part in catch-up on the computational pictures aspect of issues, implies that the corporate’s telephones are photographically lastly again on par with Google’s high-end Pixel telephones.

There’s actually only one factor stopping me from switching proper this minute, and that’s a dumb, incomprehensible concept that retains getting worse and more durable to know with each new iPhone launched: The continued insistence on utilizing the Lightning connector on its telephones.

Apple’s current-gen iPad Pros are operating on USB-C, as are its laptops of all stripes. The EU calls for USB-C on all smartphones, and, look, should you’re a fairly present expertise nerd, there’s one million explanation why you have already got USB-C cables in all places. Headphones, flashlights, moveable audio system, e-readers. Hell, just about the whole lot that isn’t an iPhone, and Apple Keyboard, or EarPods, is operating on USB-C today.

For an organization that prides itself on how progressive it’s, it’s certain holding out to a expertise it is aware of is on the way in which out.

Come on, Apple, you’re so rattling happy with doing the proper factor. Just do the proper factor.
