How many iPhone chargers have you gone through in one, the last one, in one year?

I go through them a lot, especially 'cause I drive, and, uh, usually buy those from the gas station, and they're low quality-

Mm

...

so you have to keep buying them.

You buy those ones? You don't just get the, like, the, the main one from the i- from the iPhone store?

No, I have that, but usually, like-

When you're on the go

...

I can't charge that in my car, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

'Cause I have some good high quality ones that, like, I got them maybe, like, a year ago, and, like, they're still going strong.

Mm.

But, like, the other day when I was at the studio with Czar, like, I didn't have no iPhone charger, you know? And I, I just had to run to the gas station quickly to grab one type shit, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I hate that there's this split between, like, USB-C and then the iPhone charger.

Like, if they need to have a universal charger.

Well-

I know USB-C was supposed to be that, but I heard they're coming out with a new format too.

Wait, so you mean, what, for the 17 or 18 or whatever?

No, 'cause USB right now is the universal thing.

Like, all the new iPhones, all the MacBooks, iPads, everything right now is going on the USB-C.

As it should be.

Androids.

Yeah.

It's only the old iPhones, obviously, that won't have that.

Mm.

Okay, okay.

So yeah, hopefully they keep it standardized at USB-C.

Yeah, 'cause sheesh, it could ...

I- if they go back to, like, those iPhone chargers, bro.

You know, the thing is, and like, bro, this is not a, a topic, they get us too with the dongles and all the accessories, right? Because I had the old iPhone, and I got the dongle that I can use so that I can do phone calls on the podcast, and then they changed the freaking charger.

Mm.

So I had to go get a whole next dongle so that I can do that now.

Mm.

So if they go back, I guess maybe we can go back to the old one.

But I, like, I kind of prefer it now because no matter what you have, somebody has something for you.

You know what I mean?

Mm.

If you go to your bedroom's crib and you need a charger, that same Android USB-C could work with the new iPhone.

Even with your, your MacBook, it's blessed.

Like, when I pull up to my DJ gigs, I have my, the smallest bag you could ever possibly imagine.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

But I know that most of the cords are universal.

You just plug in your, your laptop and you're good to go, you know? Plug in your, like ...

I don't know.

I like where it is right now.

Yeah.

USB-C is a, I could argue, one of the greatest cables of all time.

[laughs]

Greatest cables of all time.

[laughs]

You gotta shout out XLR, you gotta shout out HDMI, but-

Oh, man

...

USB-C for me-

It's mad fast though

... and it, there's so many things that it applies to, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know.

So, okay, now that we're over tech talk, what's going on with you guys, man? How y'all been?
