USB-C

I don't think we had dumb phone connectors was the other thing.

I don't know if you remember, but in the pre-iPhone days, pre-micro USB, pre-USB-C, every phone company had its own connector and each phone model had a different connector for some reason i think that's the worst i think that's the all-time worst proprietary connector and i don't think we put that on the connector list i think i agree with you i found

a spreadsheet maybe device specific barrel power is bad i don't see i don't see ad oh yeah no apple this says apple desktop bus is that the same thing

desktop bus yeah yeah sorry apple desktop bus was the old was there hey we're not using ps2 uh for keyboard and mouse and uh they did multiple orientations on the different macs and if you plugged it wasn't designed to be hot swapped so if you plugged it in hot you could kill the port or the keyboard i can't remember which but you can kill hardware we gave it a d yeah i think we over i think we overdid that i think it was i think that was too kind

There's like on the bottom of an Android phone.

Those are called Type-C.

The bigger ones were Type-A, stuff like that.

So you know what a hub is? It's like you plug your USB into the back of your computer, and it has four ports.

Standby time of about 10 days.

Brilliantly, it charges by USB-C. There's no little messy dongle in the way here.

There is a straight-up USB-C port in the back.

No worries there.

There's a nice little quick charge feature.

You can prompt your voice assistant on your phone by pressing and holding it for two clicks.

I won't go through the list, but you can answer calls and do second calls and stuff like that if you know the combinations of what to press at the same time.

The one thing they've got rid of if you've ever used this before there used to be a way that you could do last number redial and you'd be bombing down a street trying to get the next track on that you want and suddenly you phone the pizza parlour again from the previous night or something like that and that was held they've taken that out which is nice it comes in two different head size a small and large and there's a guide on how to measure them two colours orange and grey They even give you a case, a nice hard case, which is great so you can shove it in your sports bag, all moulded inside for you to sit, space for your USB-C cable.

And so we thought, what if we can make a brush that's longer-lasting, future-focused, but also with innovative materials without compromising on that performance that gives you a really dentist-quality clean, and also like a beautiful design.

So like a long lasting battery, USB-C charge and a UV light.

And that was really the genesis.

And ultimately, you know, kind of to my point around taking on a big category, how many people do you know who brush their teeth? Everybody.

Um, and it's working flawlessly.

I think, again, Adam mentioned on last week's episode that I have basically had the old adapter that I was using to attach my HDMI to my monitor via USB-C s- basically for the entirety of the USB-C's lifetime as a mainstream thing, um, almost a decade of, of usage out of that thing, and it served me well up to a point.

Um, but it was time to say goodbye and salute a, uh, a long-serving soldier in my arsenal of cables and wires.

Um, fun thing about transitioning is that, uh, all of those random cables and wires that, uh, every man has that they claim, they swear to up and down to God they're gonna use one day, um, I came out and I looked at it, and after maybe a month on estrogen, I was just like, "This is fucking stupid.

Norwegian wood.

What you just said, actually, I think validates and backs up what I said about the USBC Apple Pencil.

Mm-hmm.

this is a tool for taking notes just writing jotting someone that that that is not looking to be an artist with their duo or with their ipad for that matter um Yeah, I can see that person being okay with USB-C Apple Pencil.

Well, all right, but let's start with the one that surprised me the most 'cause it was denied, or practically denied.

Apple Pencil, excuse me, Apple Pencil, brackets USB-C, brackets, will be supported by the end of the year.

Didn't see that coming.

Still don't know...

So Apple gave up.

That was the report we got.

The report did not say anything about an Apple Pencil USB-C.

That was always a potential.

I just always wanted that USB version, and even that's changed.

But now we're all on the USB-C.

But the iPhone 18 Pro is also coming out.

So the Duo is $2,000.
