Why drag ad hominem into a reasonable discussion about Apple?
My question about seeing a pattern of selective interpretation in your posts is not only germane; it is specific to the way you've disputed other people's points over the past several pages. It's a comment on method, not the kind of person you are. Here's what you've been doing: Taking the most far-fetched interpretation of any logical argument by an opponent, presenting it as if said remote interpretation were exactly what the opponent meant, then responding it as if you were actually refuting the opponent's point. Page after page, post after post, this is the disingenuous technique you've used to dismiss other people's points and arguments. I can understand your creating a straw man over the course of a discussion. Nearly everyone slips from time to time. What I can't understand is your choosing to become an assembly line of straw men. No cause -- not even your belief that Jobs was a colossal derailment of consumer progress -- is just enough to warrant summarizing other people's points in a consistently misleading manner.

Isn't lightning just a wrapper over USB 2? If so, how can it achieve "much greater bandwidth"? Especially compared to newer phones that come with USB3 support.

I don't know if there's a bandwidth difference (maybe he was thinking of Thunderbolt), but lightning is different than USB. It's also allegedly more adaptable to new tech, without physical changes (so in theory may be able to keep up with new/faster protocols).

Some googling indicates it is indeed just USB 2, so those claims of "much greater bandwidth" are simply untrue: Quote:

In my opinion, usually anything faster than USB2 like USB3 or the second version of Firewire (800 up) is overkill unless you are trying to copy whole hard drives. Say an image. Backup software usually is the slow link. Back in the 90s I used Firewire for peer to peer networks, connection and backups. All on Windows machines. I wouldn't even guess how many FireWire external hard drives I have in my hardware clutter. |
