          Well, they put last year’s chip in the phone, which does not support USB 3 speeds. If the non Pro iPhone 16 won’t support usb 3, then it’s deliberate kneecapping. Now it’s just unfortunate.

              Well, the price isn’t at flagship level. At least not from Apple’s view. You pay less, you get less (which is still en par if not ahead in most regards, compared to the competition)

            It’s kind of funny that when they used lightning, they got a pass for failing to keep up with the industry standard that’s over a decode old.

              Well, not really. Most people complained for years now about lightning. Not necessarily about the lack of usb 3 speeds but that’s probably because for the vast majority of people, that doesn’t matter

        What part of their comment was hard to comprehend?

        They’re just saying even the usb 3.0 in the pro model is not modern.
