the problems for apple are just getting started as we as we said they would when this started like years and years ago we're like when one country does this more are going to follow it's not going to be like oh you're going to satisfy the japan trade commission and that'll be it you'll never hear about this again

I'm pretty sure if you go back and listen to old episodes of ATP, all those reasons you just cited were actually cited back when we were discussing this. I don't think either one of you or any of us actually thought it would be as bad because we listed those reasons. And lo and behold, it wasn't. Although, that said, I think it has been even quieter than we thought it would be.

Because when we were discussing it, we were like, okay, well, is this going to be as bad? Here are these mitigating factors that can make it not as bad. But not only was it not as bad as lightning to USB or lightning to... 30 pin to lightning. I think it was just... pretty much a non-issue. I mean, maybe it's more of an issue outside our circles. Maybe most people don't have a USB-C phone.

Maybe it's lacking. But right now, on the eve of the iPhone 16, I think it has exceeded expectations into how much better the transition was, even though I think we all said it was going to be better. We didn't think it was going to be this much better.

Oh, speaking of the port on the flip side, my wife's iPhone 15 Pro is the only USB-C phone in the house. And so we have the opposite problem here where it's not like we've gone to this whole USB-C lifestyle. We have those like communal chargers everywhere with lightning stuff. And we had to add the right number of USB-C things there.

Now, arguably, we should have been adding them before because we've got USB-C iPads. We just happen to have other places to charge our iPads. But now every place where there's a bunch of lightning cables, there's now at least one USB-C cable in the mix. Eventually we'll fully transition, but it's going to be a while because my wife uses, I believe, four, maybe three. She carries four iPhones.

She uses three of them for Pokemon Go. One of them is her work phone. So it's just like a brick. Can you imagine how much like four pro phones weigh in your bag? It's just so heavy. Anyway, it's going to be a while before all four of those phones are on USB-C. So I have a long road ahead of me with a combination of lightning and USB-C on all our communal chargers.

Yeah, Apple's lack of investment in Lightning and the lack of expansion in the capabilities of that port made it inevitable that they would eventually go to USB-C. So they have.

I think the camera is a perfectly good thing to use it for. My success rate at doing the swipe gesture for the camera is so low. I end up using what you would think would be the even slower one where you have to hold your finger on the little camera icon. It's like there's a delay. You're like, why are you using the one with the delay? That's got to be slower.

No, because when I try to swipe and it fails and I try to swipe and it fails, it's always like, oh, got to get the camera out quick, you know, because something cute is happening or whatever, right? That is the time when I am completely unable to get the camera out. So the action button is going to be great. But I have to say that...

When I need to get my camera out real fast, it's almost always my phone and not my wife's phone. So I actually haven't built the habit of using the action button, even though hers is set to camera, because I'm never grabbing her phone real quick to take a picture because going over to where she is or getting her phone is going to kill the time that would be required anyway.
