You need to get the pro if you want USB 3 transfer speeds, lol.

Is there a correlation between transfer speed and charging speed? If you don’t have the pro, will it also result in slower charging?
There is not
Thanks
Who’s plugging their iPhone into a computer to transfer things?
Why do they keep putting glass on the back of phones?.. why?.. The last thing I want is more breakable/shatterable glass on my phone. I will never understand this. It’s a complete looks over function decision that’s just silly.
ELI5 version: Solid metal box no allow radio waves to pass.
Normally I don’t advocate for plastic, but you know… plastic and other non metal materials that don’t shatter as easily exist.

I like minimalist cases. You can break the glass through a basic case easily. Have multiple times over the years. If “buy a case” is the solution then what’s the point of it being glass. No one will see it.

I see glass backed phones with cracks in them constantly. It’s definitely not just a me thing. But ok. I haven’t bought any of the glass backed gen for a reason. You people who buy every new version have fun with it.

It doesn’t have to feel cheap and show fingerprints. I love the plastic on the back of my S21, it feels very premium and looks great

My s22 has a glass back and I really like it. It feels nice, it looks nice, and although mine does have a small crack it doesn’t affect the function of the phone in any way so its no big deal.
My S21 has a high quality plastic back and I LOVE it. Would have never guessed I would have before getting it
Well google fixed it with the pixel 5, but then went back to glass :(
The short answer is reception and the long answer is above my level of understanding.
Part of it is also wireless charging I think. A metal back would interfere with that afaik and plastic feels too cheap for a lot of people these days, especially with how expensive phones are getting
I wouldn’t mind a metal back with a circle of glass for charging, but that is a very un-apple aesthetic.
That frosted glass looks neat but I get the feeling the photos aren’t doing it justice. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person.

Agreed the colors really suck
I’m in for a blue Plus. I wanted a silver/white and this seems to closest.
Currently on a 12 Pro with low battery health and a damaged lightning port. Undecided if I should just replace the battery and repair the port or upgrade phones. I do like the idea of macro photography introduced a couple years ago since I take a lot of close up pictures of small mechanical watch movements, which are hard to capture on my current device. I also like the idea of a better battery life. At the same time I still like my phone and wouldn’t be upgrading if it was in brand new condition still
Yeah it’s the camera and battery for me. Chip too but I won’t be getting the pro.
They look like last year’s models.
there’s only so many ways to design a rectangular slab of glass and metal
