I’m generally a fan of Apple stuff, and will give them the benefit of the doubt on most things. Apple would agree, seeing as they () to protect M1 MacBook Pros and Airs from being killed by the adapter hubs people were buying. “Native IO is more reliable than being dependent on adapters” is not a weak argument. “Slavery is bad!” is a weak argument because it can be countered with “but free food and board is good,” says you. Anything can have a strong argument and be countered with counter arguments. > It’s a weak argument, because it’s easy to provide a counter argument. Having native io is more reliable than requiring an adapter. I’ve heard countless stories of people saying their hdmi adapter gave them problems, or they forgot it at home, or back in the office, and had to walk back which could take 10 minutes while people are waiting on a presentation. > One could make the same argument about basically every I/O.Įspecially when it comes to HDMI. This isn’t Apple “backtracking” on the USB-C experiment as it is acknowledging that there are lots of cases where it just isn’t practical. Same thing with the HDMI thing…people with absurd monitors that don’t work on HDMI 2.0 are already using Thunderbolt/DisplayPort…but those people will still appreciate being able to plug in to a boardroom projector without a dongle. I also imagine there’s quite a few pro photographers who have a nice fast dock setup at home who love USB-C, but also want to be able to use their backup SD card to import their photos when they’re on-site without needing a dongle. And that’s great until it’s not, and your card stops transmitting, or your client has some weird request or whatever, in which case it’s *great* to have the SD Card slot. Most “pro” photographers use CF anyway, and many if not most of them use Eye-Fi or whatever. I think this is the big thing with some of the dumb hand-wringing going on with the new “gimped” HDMI and SD Card.
