1 year agoAlright hear me out. Apple will comply to the letter of the law, but now suddenly iPhone batteries are disposable. Of course only Apple can charge them, and you must buy them in packs.
Eh, I waited around quite a while hoping to find something like this but eventually caved. I now have three cables that I plug into my MacBook Pro: MagSafe charger, USB C DisplayPort for 3840x1440 @ 144Hz, and USB C hub for audio / peripherals / storage. This way I can decouple charging from my external display and peripherals, so I am not constantly keeping my battery at 100%.
That hub above I mentioned is a CalDigit Soho, which supports almost everything I wanted: USB C, 90W, DisplayPort and HDMI, type C and A female ports, SD card reader, and detachable USB C cable. The only issue I have right now is the lack of 4K 120Hz…
