@budgetkeyboardist Місяць тому
I like Thunderbolt 4 a lot, but I have to admit that I don't like the physical plug itself. I've seen too many Mac laptops where the jack has become a little loose over time, and all you have to do is breathe on the thing to cause issues. I wish they would have adopted a more robust form factor. Traditional USB kinda sucks now, but those cables stay put.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
YES! I've always said that about USB-C. I know Lightning had its faults, but that plug was so sturdy and reliable!

@mrkarn8241 Місяць тому
Does tb5 require new tb ports? For it to work at 80gbps
@tavenner07 11 днів тому
So will the added bandwidth move data faster even if the port isn’t properly designed for it? Like, obviously a tb5 port and cable will increase data transfers to a greater extent, but if I put one on my enclosure to my Mac Studio, will I see an increase in r/w speeds? Also, if things aren’t fitted for tb5 will it produce extra heat? Genuinely asking as I am trying to wrap my head around how rapidly the world is changing.
@snappycattimesten Місяць тому
No. What I am happy is usb4v2 will come out same time, and minimum speed will be 20Gbps and cables will be labelled.

It's been like a year and a half for the chip cycles. So Im guessing next March is most likely.
@techguypaul Місяць тому
@@AppleInsiderM2 -> M3 was 3 months shorter than M1 -> M2. Apple is absolutely developing new chips faster and will be at a yearly cycle just like the iPhone.
@DojoOfCool Місяць тому
Been around tech for MANY decades and speeds are always increasing, but only occasionally is it enough that you actually notice it in everyday use. Now Thunderbolt 4 using that expensive cable was a speed increase I could see, not for everyday tasks, but for when I have to move a lot of data to setup a computer or copy a hard drive. So I probably won't notice another speed increase until Thunderbolt 7 or 8.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
Thunderbolt 4 didn't really increase speeds. Same 40Gb/s cap but they made requirements more stringent and allowed for more downstream ports. yes, there are active vs passive cables but that has been the case for a while. Thunderbolt 5 literally doubles these speeds on Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4. I think twill be a huge upgrade.
@HarrisonLuiEKYiss Місяць тому
As a high school student Thunderbolt is already overkill for me. I’ll stick to USB-C, just have to look for its specs. I know it’s sooooo annoying because of the varying power and data transfer speeds which can happen if you buy from different companies as stated in your “I hate USB C” video.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
I think it's overkill for a lot of things really. I use it primarily for monitors (would be great to do multiple monitors with a single cable) and large data transfer. But for SSDs, it gets so expensive!
@gryphon123456 Місяць тому
How much power does a monitor need? Will this finally be enough to run a high end monitor off one single cable for data and power?
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
It totally depends on a variety of factors. How many downstream ports are on the monitor? What *kind* of ports are they? What resolution is the monitor? What's the refresh rate? With Thunderbolt 5, you can run 3 4K monitors at 120Hz with just a single cable.
@unknownuser069 Місяць тому
So ... typically monitors are NOT being powered over Thunderbolt... just bandwidth for data display. It is more likely that the Monitor will power the laptop. Right now I have my work laptop computer connected to a BenQ via thunderbolt... and the monitor powers the laptop, and connects to my headphones, keyboard and mouse. The BenQ has a KVM, so when I swqap to my Mac ... the mouse and keyboard go with it, but it still powers my work computer. (My Mac is hooked up to a Samsung OLED monitor which powers it...)
@gryphon123456 Місяць тому
@@AppleInsider was thinking from a corporate angle. Just great to be able to have an expanded laptop screen using just one cable instead of taking up multiple power plugs. Also I’m kinda ocd😬. Less cords = more better.
@MitchellTheMitch Місяць тому
The cable would be more for charging the device that's displaying information, like a laptop. The laptop could support like 240w USB-C charging, the cable supports 240w, and the monitor is capable of sending 240w of power through it's USB-C connection. Would be cool to see that ngl,

@@AppleInsider I think Apple won't introduce it until M5, and play off the marketing of M5 with Thunderbolt 5.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
@@Jason_Carnes it's possible, but that will be SO late to the game. The M5 series isn't slated until like 2027. That puts Apple at least 3 years after the release of the tech. That's ages.
@Jason_Carnes Місяць тому
@@AppleInsider Interesting point. If there are already products being released later this year with T5, then yeah, M4 sounds about right. I am hoping they will update their studio displays with the introduction of T5, like to 120hz. A 5K or 6K display with 120 hz refresh would be amazing.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
@@Jason_Carnes That's what it seems like. End of this year or early next year for the M4 line. The M4 MBP will likely include some other big changes too so it may be a longer refresh cycle. We'll see!

iVanky should have just used Display Port as it's Royalty Free. HDMI licensing can run up to $10k a year. Sounds trivial but shipping a $500 dock with 2.5Gbe is almost embarrassing.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
Yeah, it's definitely a choice but as the end user, I prefer HDMI. I hate that most docks have Display Port because I rarely use it. HDMI is so much more common, but I know the licensing fees add up.
@gregorymoore2877 Місяць тому
@@AppleInsider HDMI is inferior to DisplayPort in every way that is important. It costs more to include. Image quality is lower. You can't daisy chain with it. If your display only has HDMI inputs, you can get a DisplayPort to HDMI active cable. If your display has DisplayPort inputs, you can ditch HDMI completely. HDMI is fine in a TV. It's a waste of space in a computer docking station.

Love technology moving forward. Expect ThunderBolt 5 with USB5 standard soon. If Apple is going to "Think Different" ThunderBolt 5 should be in all of its next "Pro" versions of its Mac products. Apple then should have ThunderBolt 4/USB4 in all of it's consumer Mac's. How much power does a normal really need? Now we come to the Apple iPhone / iPad product lines. If Apple is going to be calling it these professional products it should have professional options like ThunderBolt 5. Feel that for the base iPhone / iPad at minimum should have USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbit/s data transfer rate, and should really have USB4 40Gbit/s data transfer rate with all options of the standard on. USB4 was announced in March 2019 with in somewhat ancient in PhD Robert Metcalfe "The Father of Ethernet" (inside joke) when talking about technology years. He often told me..."The amount of change in our industry (computer/local area networks) in six months is equal to a decade in any other industry". That would make this USB4 standard more than 100 technology years old. Apple should make USB4 the minimum standard connection in any of its devices.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
It sounds like it won't be USB5 but USB 4 V2 or something of the ilk. I do hope Thunderbolt 5 comes to iPad!

Still slower than just an Ethernet to a nas.
@AppleInsider Місяць тому
Not really, but there are a lot of variables to suss out here. Most ethernet is gigabit Ethernet (1000Mb/s). Thunderbolt 5 is 80Gb/s or 8000Mb/s. That said, you can get faster ethernet setups but you need faster ports on both sides plus the supported cable. One win for Ethernet though is range. Thunderbolt is only like 3 meters while Ethernet could traverse your whole house. So really just depends on your setup and needs.
@whiteandnerdytuba Місяць тому
@@AppleInsider thunderbolt always lacks behind since Nas for lack of a better word is what data centers use, it has more development dollars. For the price of using thunderbolt 4 I set up 100Gb to my PC. Thunder bolt pricing needs to come down
