    Is it possible to connect the current Mac Studio to 27" Apple LED Cinema Displays?

    I have two old 27" Apple LED Cinema Displays that have power and the cable that slips into USB-A, MiniDisplay, and the magnetic alternate power option. That all runs out the back of the monitors. I'm currently using a 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) and will be finally upgrading to the current Mac...

    iPad Pro 12.9 M1:Loose USB-C port, charging problems

    Anyone else experience this? My iPad Pro 12.9 M1 refuses to charge from the supplied Apple USB-C cable. Regardless if I’m using the charger that came with or any other. Now, this OG cable I’ve only used while travelling so it’s definitely not worn out. It charges everything else fine. At home...

    Which USB-C / TB dock with charging?

    I'm looking for a relatively simple dock for my MBP14, which has enough USB-C ports for 2 external SSDs and 1 mouse, and can charge my Macbook via a single USB-C cable. I have found some options from Anker, Caldigit, Satechi and OWC which would fit the bill, but they're all really new TB4 docks...

    iPhone 15/Plus iPhone USB-C loose - saw this coming

    Yup, I always said the USB-C port is a disaster vs. the secure and reliable lightning connector. Now it's confirmed: USB-C sucks. The connection is fragile at best: Mine is the same. Thanks, EU. You forced an inferior port on all of us. Horrible.

    iPhone 15 Pro Max Record anything else besides pro-res to USB-C connected device?

    I have a Sandisk iXand usb-C thumb drive that amazingly enough is fast enough to work with my new iPhone 15 Pro Max when recording Prores video. I would love to be able to record standard non-ProRes video and photos directly to the drive. Are any of these other formats supported?

    Cable Charger compatibility (Apple included)

    So I saw Apple has new braided USB-C cables! But the 1m cable is just 60W instead of 100W... Now, hypothetically... What if I only want to carry around one charger and one cable for iPhone, iPad and Mac... What if I use the shorter 1m braided 60W cable with a 96W charger and my MacBook Pro...

    iPhone 15/Plus USB-C iPhones seem not to be compatible with some USB-C cables

    There were rumors before the release of iPhone 15 which say that Apple made the iPhone's USB-C port only accept MFI USB-C cables, while after the release, I didn't find any clarification about this rumor. So I opened the Apple Store app, where Apple sells third-party accessories including USB-C...
