2021-11-22 11:47:25 iPhone 14 will obviously get USB-C - why it's a good thing

Let's talk about the pros.

The MyDrivers portal reports that smartphones of the iPhone 14 generation will be equipped with a USB Type-C connector instead of the Lightning port. There is nothing surprising in this. And for Apple too. The iPad Pro charges and transfers information via USB-C.

What are the advantages?

Speed. It is hundreds of times higher! USB Type-C is cosmically fast. A living example: you are wired to transfer a huge 700 GB video from an iPhone to a PC. With Lightning, you will spend 3.5 hours doing this. And if you use USB-C, then 2.5 minutes.
Convenience. Almost all modern gadgets charge and connect via USB-C. One wire is enough for everything and everything.
In Europe, they just want to pass a law prohibiting the sale of new gadgets without USB-C. Thus, all manufacturers will have to switch to this standard. Sooner rather than late. And in the United States, they also think about such a law.

2021-11-11 14:14:00 How to edit PDFs in iOS 15. Third-party apps are no longer needed

1. Find the PDF file you want in your Safari browser, email client, or messenger.

2. Open the folder with the downloaded document or find it in the Files application.

3. While viewing a document, open the sidebar at the left edge of the screen.

The choice of gesture for a chip is not the best, because a longer swipe allows you to switch between documents in full-screen view. It takes a little practice to learn how to invoke a new panel.

4. Click on the button with three dots.

5. From this menu you can rotate individual pages of the document, insert a blank page, add a page from another PDF file, or delete unnecessary parts of the document.

This is how you can quickly make the changes you want to a PDF file.
