As a result, you will need enough storage space to accommodate all your needs. Your new smartphone will likely be your go-to device for almost everything, from taking pictures and videos to storing work documents, music files, and more. Worse still, Apple doesn’t even include a charging brick in the box anymore, so you’ll have to shell out extra money to get one.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about iPhones, at least at this time, as they still use Apple’s proprietary Lightning cable, which is more fragile and expensive. What’s more, if you damage or misplace your cable, it’s easier to find a replacement at a lower price since it is a more popular standard. It also allows faster-charging speeds, with the Realme GT3, one of the most exciting smartphones unveiled at MWC 2023, able to get a full recharge in less than 10 minutes. This means that with a single cable, you can power all your devices without carrying a bunch of different chargers. Interestingly, even Apple’s latest iPads and MacBooks use USB-C. Scratch that nearly all your recent devices use USB-C, from your laptop and noise-canceling headsets to your external hard drive. These days, almost all Android phones use the same charging cable and port-USB-C.
