I wonder how much shorter the max cable length can get. Let’s find out!
there’s no cable now, just two connectors stuck together
I’m sure that any docks for 5 will only be 300$ or more…
Yep, got the Razer TB4 Dock Chroma when the M1 MacBook pros came out, think it was $350. It’s VERY nice to be able to go from desk to couch when WFH and have everything right where you left it, but damn it’s pricey.
AND mine already died once as well. Replaced under warranty but it was a hassle that took a few weeks
That feeling when your laptop overheats because the USB port is consuming 30 watts. :-/
Already, I need to place a desk fan pointed on my laptop to keep it cool when it’s connected to the docking station via USB.
Is your dock powered by your laptop? I didn’t even know this was possible, all docks I’ve seen have their own power supply and actually offer PD to the connected device, not the other way around.
I have an Aukey dock and an Anker dock and they both work both ways. When there’s no power supply connected to it, power is drawn from the laptop. When there is a power supply, my laptop gets charged instead.
We need a more robust connection more than we need a faster connection.
All USB/thunderbolt variants feel like they are a sneeze away from snapping. It’s one thing if yiu are connecting things that aren’t meant to be moved around, but damn do they feel flimsy for mobile devices that could get bumped around.
It would be pretty easy to make a locking mechanism for a standard usb-c cable. Like for example a slot that’s the size of a usb-c connector, and after you put the usb-c cable connector through it to plug it in, you then rotate the slot 90 degrees to lock the cable head in place.
120Gbps mode would be incredible for eGPUs.
How many 4ks at 120hz can it run? Asking for a friend
It should support at least 3. In case you’re seriously asking, TB3 is 40GBps and supports 1 display at 4k@120 with DP 1.4.
3x 4K at 144hz, it’s right in the graphic in the article.

Not everything is a conspiracy, my guy
Thunderbolt != USB-C

USB-C is just the connector, fam, you’re comparing apples to oranges

No offense, but I think there’s a gap in your knowledge. I’d love to fill it in, but to be honest, I don’t quite know where it is, so I’m going to go back to watching Godzilla, and I wish you a good night.

Lol, the iPhone 15 will get USB 2.0 like the rest of them.

It is a purely logical conclusion if Apple actually wanted to make this feature good like the rest of its competitors who have been giving usb 3.0 on their phones for more than a decade already. But Apple needs to milk us for more iCloud revenue, so this probably never will happen.
