i need to get a silicone band for the gym

Midnight Ocean band is the best so far since it’s most comfy & waterproof. Waiting on the trail loop band but it’s still fabric so idk. Only better thing is it’s black with orange hint.

Just go to USB-C man. I dont wanna deal with this wireless BS.

i need to get a silicone band for the gym

Don't the 45 bands work for the Ultra?

I prefer the Nike silicon for the gym

 

[rfx45]

if they go portless, they better include a magsafe charger with it the the phones

id say they go cheap for a couple of years and just go usbc so they can just supply the much cheaper usbc cable then go full portless after that

i love mines, i wash them often if i use them at the gym.

the earpads are super easy to remove and just rinse with some water maybe soap if u sweat alot

performance is great

thanks for the insight. I saw that you can just purchase ear cups from apple as well, so i may go that route to have a pair just for the gym.

prolly gonna include a cheaper / slower MagSafe cable out the box with no charging brick

 

[dakingii]

They not going to include anything and people still gonna buy it because its Apple. They were testing the waters when they decided to remove the charging brick. They can get away with whatever now.

**** the charging port…give me a titanium phone to match the watch

If they make a brolick iPhone “Ultra” with some huge push to talk button on the side I’m blaming you and ol dude who wanted a $1,000 walkie talkie phone.

I understand the jab you’re making but I don’t think any company, including Apple, can simply not include a way to charge the device they’re selling you.

At worst, I can see Apple being transparent about including MagSafe in the box for 2-4 years and then being very loud about them removing it when the time comes so no one is surprised.

If it’s indefinitely included, I’d assume we’d see a price increase on the phones as a whole. Which, I believe, we’re sorta due for at this point.

Its more than just a charging issue. Apple can’t try to sell us on the ability to record full length 4k films and expect us to rely on Airdrop to transfer large files to the desktop. Maybe the Pro models will come with USB C while the standards may go portless.

Literally couldn't care less about USB C, and I never hear it discussed outside the internet.
Like out of all the iPhone users I know, I haven't heard one say "I wish Apple would switch to USB C".
Only on the internet...especially Reddit

And you won’t

I’ve also never heard an iPhone user complain about how fast their phone doesn’t charge, outside the internet or YouTube reviews.

Faster charging is cool in the small instances where I really really need battery life quickly. But those are few and far between. Definitely not big enough to complain about. (For me)

 

[Frankie Blue]

I charge my phone while I sleep so as long as it takes less than 8 hours I'm good

 

[rfx45]

i mean what kind of friend do yall have if the conversations consists of constant complaints about needing a usbc port?



i wouldnt be surprised if those same people were on reddit complaining about it though

 

[jordanhead718212]

Lol I mean I work in IT so it's very plausible for me, idk bout everyone else.

 

[DonRafa]

i mean, as long as apple gives me the cable it can be hexagon shaped for all i care

 

[spizike231]

Ordered a cig lighter charger for my truck. Gonna get a standard MagSafe puck to pair it with and call it a day b.

I was looking at the mounted ones and realized I don’t need it. Just a good reliable wireless charger for when I have long road trips or somethin.

And in relation to our convo above, the cig lighter charger has FAST CHARGING FASTEST CHARGER FOR IPHONE SAMSUNG and **** plastered all over it.

I think all bands “work” but the space it leaves on the sides since it’s not made for it would irk me.

Well no duh but if someone mentions something that other dude posted about Europe going USBC then the topic of wanting apple to switch to USBC is gonna come up. It doesnt come out of the blue.

all my 45mm bands fit perfect no space

Same. Like when Apple said the Magic Keyboard will fit older iPad pro models...
