Not only is it continuing to be an option, which I expected, but now you can do it even faster. Now, I think at this point, everyone is reaching for their email clients to say, oh, but that destroys your battery longevity. And that's why I don't do it very often. But I do love that this is a thing that we can do from time to time. And I forget if we talked about this last week. I think we did.

But MagSafe 2 or MagSafe 2 Plus, whatever they're calling the newest one. Yeah, we did talk about it. That also charges a bit faster. I don't recall the figure off top my head.

Right. So this is a report from 9to5Mac. The slug is lower iPhone 16 Pro demand. And so according to Quo, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is down 16% compared to last year. The Pro is down 27%. The Plus is up 50%. And the 16, just plain vanilla 16, is up 10% as well. I'm telling you, those colors...

We talked just a moment ago about connecting via cable. And I've been really unreasonably excited to try this for migration this year because migration is always such like a bummer. And I am of the opinion that doing a phone-to-phone migration is what I typically do. I'll typically start by doing an encrypted backup to my computer just as a backup.

The key here is to do an encrypted password-protected one because then that saves all your Wi-Fi passwords and things of that nature. And I'll try to do that the night before I get the new phone. But then for actually transferring, I typically do a phone-to-phone transfer. And it usually works really well, but takes something like two to three hours. It takes forever.

And I was debating between trying... a couple of, like, USB-C Ethernet dongles and, you know, putting them both on Ethernet on, you know, on the same network, seeing if that was faster. But actually, looking at this, I might be able to just connect phone-to-phone with, you know, a standard USB-3 USB-C cable. So...

On Apple's comparison page, you can see the differences between the different phones.

And I will say that another benefit of the Pro is that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max feature the USB 3 connections that are capable up to 10 gigabits per second, whereas the 16 and 16 Plus are the lowly USB 2.0 from 804 years ago with speeds up to 480 megabits per second, which is 20 times slower than the Pro phones. Wow. So I'm going to give that a shot.

I'm going to do I'm going to probably use the hilariously expensive Apple Thunderbolt USB-C cable, which is completely unnecessary. But just so I know that the cable is not the problem and we'll see how it goes. And I'll probably stick them on ice packs, like Marco said.

And then Dave Mark had a really good reminder, and by that I mean a piece of information I was not aware of. We've talked about it on the show, Casey.
