Hi!
Apple recommends devs not to use this method for their extensions.
That’s how I understand it.
Bless.

What can you connect to the iPhone 15 with USB-C? 9 to 5 Mac

[MacVisionaries]

9to5Mac - Sunday, December 17, 2023

What can you connect to the iPhone 15 with USB-C?
 
On the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, Apple finally got rid of the Lightning 
port and replaced it with USB-C. This opens up a whole new world of 
convenience of connecting accessories and peripherals. The iPhone 15 Pro 
and iPhone 15 Pro Max go one step further, as the USB-C port on the pro 
models supports USB-3 speeds, enabling up to 10 Gbps data transfer speeds.

USB-C makes it easy to connect displays, external storage, cameras, and 
charge using the same cable as all your other devices. Here’s what you can 
do with your new iPhone and its shiny new port …

Why did Apple change from Lightning?
Apple was fully invested in Lightning port ecosystem on the iPhone. 
However, it began adopting USB-C across Mac and iPad models since 2015 as a 
way to modernize PC connectivity. USB-C is versatile, carrying power and 
data with the same connector. And USB-4 / Thunderbolt offers even higher 
data transfer speeds.

At the same time, USB-C was becoming increasingly popular on the Android 
side of the smartphone market. But Apple stuck with Lightning on iPhone, 
partly because they were still stung from the backlash of 30-pin -> 
Lightning transition that happened more than a decade ago.

The forcing factor for Apple was the EU commission, who have passed 
legislation to reduce e-waste by enforcing USB-C as the universal connector 
for phones. That would mean Apple would at least have to make a special 
model of iPhone for the European market. That brings its own complications. 
Instead, Apple chose to just adopt USB-C across the board … and apart from 
the frustration of customers having to change out all their existing 
now-defunct Lightning cables, that brings a lot of benefits …

Universal USB-C Charging
Now that you have an iPhone 15, you are probably close to being able to use 
the same single cable to charge all of your devices. Almost all iPads have 
a USB-C port, and all Macs have been sporting USB-C for a decade. The 
newest Macs come with Apple’s MagSafe charger, but they can also be charged 
by plugging in to one of their USB-C ports too. The latest-generation Apple 
TV comes with a USB-C remote, and Apple just released a new AirPods Pro 
with a USB-C charging case. You can also now buy just the USB-C case 
separately from the Apple Store.

Apple sells its own USB-C charge cables, and the iPhone comes with a nice 
quality woven cable in the box itself. Unlike Lightning, USB-C is not 
proprietary. To charge your Apple gear, you can use any USB-C charging 
cable or accessory on the market. That includes cheaper USB-C cables, and 
USB-C cables of different styles and lengths. Anker has a very convenient 
dual 47 watt USB-C power adapter, for example.

To charge your iPhone at full speed, you want to use a 20-watt or 30-watt 
power adapter. You can safely use a higher wattage power adapter like the 
one that comes with your MacBook; the phone will automatically manage the 
power. 

Charge other devices with your iPhone 15 battery
Another cool angle of the USB-C charging story is that you can now use the 
iPhone to charge other accessories. The iPhone 15 can accept up to 27 watts 
through the USB-C port, but itself can also output about 4.5 watts. 
(Lightning could only manage a measly 0.3watts.)
This means you can actually use your spare iPhone battery to power and 
charge connected accessories. If your AirPods are running low, in a pinch, 
you can plug them into your phone and your phone will top up the juice in 
your AirPods case. You could even top up the battery of another person’s 
iPhone — but just be aware it will take a while.

Easily connect to external displays
With Lightning, you could only connect to external displays via a clunky 
dongle. With USB-C on iPhone 15, you can output to a screen directly. Use a 
USB-C to HDMI cable and show your iPhone screen on a 4K TV or monitor, with 
screen mirroring. If you are watching a movie in a video streaming service 
app, the film will automatically fill the TV dimensions with playback 
controls on the touch screen. Easily show off your photo library or conduct 
a presentation with Keynote by just plugging your phone directly into a 
projector.

One of the use cases Apple is pushing is positioning iPhone as a portable 
games console. Using the power of the A17 Pro chip inside, iPhone 15 Pro 
can run some top-end games with high graphical fidelity. Pair an Xbox or 
PlayStation game controller, connect your phone to a TV, and start gaming. 
The Apple USB-C Digital AV adapter is a good choice for this use case, as 
it allows for HDMI, power output for continuous charging and passthrough 
USB-C in one convenient dongle.

Expand your local storage with portable USB-C hard drives and SD cards
Connect a USB-C hard drive or SD card reader and browse files directly 
using the Files app on iPhone. If you go on holiday and take a dedicated 
camera with you, you can import photos

I use audio hijack every day, and have adjusted these permissions, and have no 
issues at all. Another app I use pCloud, needs the same permissions, and again, 
have no issues.

RE: Mark's Update to iOS and iPad OS 17.2: An Extremely Positive Experience

[M. Taylor]

Yes, even TV OS.

I discovered that one can easily locate the episode, last viewed, in a series 
by using the long press of the select button.  Using this button causes a 
submenu to appear from which one can select view episodes.  When selected, one 
is placed on the last episode viewed, just as in the legacy TV Shows app.

Give it a try.

Even tvOS? My workaround was to download a TV show then use the Computer 
app. I had first the watched/unwatched options in the Mac's TV app. The only 
drawback to this is having to turn on  the TV app on the Mac.

Here Are The Steps to Get Your iOS 17.2 iPhone / iPad to Automatically Announce When the Battery Level Falls Below or Rises Above a Certain Percentage

[MacVisionaries]

Hello Everyone,

If you would like to have your iPhone automatically announce when the 
battery level falls below a certain percentage, with VoiceOver enabled, do 
the following:

1.
Launch the Shortcuts app.

2.
Select the Automation tab, located near the bottom of the display.

3.
Select the Add button, located near the top right corner of the display.  A 
list of choices will appear.

4.
Select Battery Level.  A new screen will appear.

5.
Adjust the slider to the desired battery level that will automatically 
activate the shortcut.  The default level is 50%.

6.
On this same screen, select the “Falls Below” option.  Of course, you 
should select either of the other two options in this area, as well.

7.
In the third and final area of this screen, select the “Run Immediately” 
option.  Selecting this option will cause another option to be displayed 
said option being to not only announce the battery level but to also place 
a notification in the notifications area.

8.
Select the Next button located near the top right corner of the display.  A 
new screen will appear.

Now the following step is where we, as VoiceOver users, have to take one 
extra step than does our sighted counterpart because of what I assume is a 
small VoiceOver bug that, in essence, is of no real consequence, at this 
point.

9.

Re: Mark's Update to iOS and iPad OS 17.2: An Extremely Positive Experience

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
That’s absolutely great that you can not see any bugs.
But  its not  necessary to close all  devices down and disconnect them from the 
network to install iOS.
But maybe you do not have a fast broadband connection.
Then that might help.
But I never use to do that.

Re: What's going on with Audio Hijack.

[Anders Holmberg]

Hi!
I have been using Audio Hijack for years so I am not sure what to answer.
Do you have a better solution for recording audio from  Internet than Audio 
Hijack?
If so I can skip that program and  don’t need bothering with the kernel 
extension thing.
Bless.
