    I think it will be hilarious to watch them continue forcing their phones to communicate with USB2.0 speeds even after the move to USB-C just so they can push more people to buy overpriced iCloud storage. It will be 2060 and we will still have USB 2.0 on our apple phones.

      Most people haven’t transferred data between their iPhone and a computer using a cable in how many years? And USB2.0 isn’t the reason they haven’t. It’s that iCloud syncing is vastly more user friendly and, quiet frankly, effortless.

      I’m actually ok with Thunderbolt speeds being only for the Pro phones. That’s where it makes sense to upcharge for it.

        Sorry there’s no way I’m paying the absurd Apple iCloud prices needed to host all my photos. I’m not willing to pay whatever exorbitant price Apple tries to ram down my throat for anything they decide I need to pay them for. I will continue to point out this blatant money grab.

      in 2060 the iphone will be the only piece of technology still using USB 2.0, a functioning reminder of the past
