      Okay and? I transferred an album to my phone via USB two days ago. Your experiences are not the same as others’.

        That’s fine. If you’re using an iPhone you’ll literally get better speed for the last decade by unplugging your phone and doing the exact same thing over WiFi.

          Different poster here: WiFi sucks and my whole house is wired for gigabit Ethernet. I use USB as well for this reason.

              I get good speeds if I’m right next to the router too, but across the house where all my stuff is, I do not get good coverage. I am aware I can purchase things to fix that, but I’m not going to because everything is wired up and I prefer it that way.

                You’re in the extremely small minority (me too). My company has worked remote for twenty years and maybe 2% of users plug in wired ever. Programmers and Statisticians.

        I too haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer anything since the 6s, obviously there are people who do like yourself and Apple limiting transfer speeds is ridiculous but the majority of people are basically using the cable for charging, I don’t have data to prove it but anecdotally I’d bet I’m right

        They shouldn’t have capped the speeds but I highly doubt this will be an issue that the average person cares about

      That’s not the only reason for fast I/O though. Yeah it’s convenient for a quick transfer/backup of large files but there’s also the ability to use peripherals that require higher rates. USB3 has been around since 2008 so it’s not really unreasonable to expect a modern phone to support a spec that’s over a decade old…

      Seriously… the number of people plugging their phones in to transfer anything to/from an iPhone is in the single digit percentages, if that.

          I work with Apple products all day and work with people using them every day. I can’t remember when we had someone who actually plugged in their phone to do anything other than charge. My company has been working with iPhone users every day for years so we’re talking thousands of people. I have a pretty good sample size and would say that our work basically amounts to extensive research.

          Also, just look at the responses here and otherwise. Even the number of people that still demand a headphone jack is limited to techies and less-than-single-digit percentages.

            The downvoted here are insane. Just Android fanboys trying to dunk on iPhones for a reason no iPhone user cares about at all. I agree 100%. No one buying the non-pros plugs in for data transfer anymore.

              I know. It’s ok. I have a MagSafe charger on my nightstand and sync everything else to iCloud, Google Drive, and a NAS, depending on the need. There is literally no reason for me to ever plug this thing in.

                Yea… I stream directly off my NAS if I need to. Plug-in in is inconvenient no matter the speed.

      I can plug in one cable into my device (S21 Ultra) which will allow me to charge at 45W and use a desktop interface with a separate mouse, keyboard, and monitor, all at the same time.
