I was gonna trade in my iPhone X but Apple was ripping me off on it. $250 when other places online offered me $316 and Swappa has them going in the $380 range for 256 GB.

I'm hoping my Galaxy Note10+ charger works. They let me keep that when I traded in for the Note20 Ultra. Need a smaller phone for a change of pace so the iPhone 12 Pro is it.
Def do Swappa, I’ve done that in the past. If it sell for $380, then it’s $370 cause swappa fee paid by buyer and PayPal fee is like $12. Then shipping

Cop the anker on Amazon for 19.99. 10 dollar cheaper and it’s better

newer cars need to upgrade from USB A to USB C if that's gonna be the standard. either that or have mandatory wireless charging pads.

The end that connects to the phone is lightning. The other end can be whatever. They have lightning to USB A cables. Everyone who owned an iPhone probably has several.

this is true, but the lightning to USB C one works with macbook and the fast chargers. I'd rather have all USB-C outlets instead. for instance, androids use USB-C and it's kind of a standard. there's no USB A fast charging bricks, thus I'd rather not have them.

to be honest, I'd rather the iphone have USB-C like the ipad pro because the throughput is so much better. when I plug in my iphone to sync to macbook pro, it takes a long time. when I plug in ipad pro to macbook, it syncs the data like 20 times faster. its not even a comparison.

Well some new cars only come with USB Type C ports. It will trickle down to all of them eventually just like Wireless Carplay and Android Auto will.

I've seen it in some high end vehicles. but my car is 2015, and I'm not getting an new one anytime soon, so I'm stuck with the old USB joints.

The first phone with Type-C came out that year. No way were they gonna put them on cars with them being that uncommon at the time. In like 3-4 years I'm guessing they'll be more common on cars.
