    The non-pro iphone 15 uses a different processor (A16 vs A17) which doesn’t have the controller for 10gbps speeds. Its the processor from the iphone 14 pro.

      The Pixel 2, which is 5 (almost 6!) years old, had better transfer speeds than this brand new $799 phone.

      It’s not even close, it’s the Pixel 2 with 1.5Gbps vs the iPhone with ~0.5Gbps.

      Apple’s software is good but they are an absolute trash company that routinely screws their blind customers.

        An apropos of that, I was looking to buy a mac mini because it looks so affordable. However, if I want more storage or RAM, I’m screwed.

        I decided to buy a mini PC and installed mint. If I wanted the same amount of RAM it would have been like twice the price.

          I’m not defending apple (their upgrades are insane) but it’s not the same type of RAM. It’s a unified on chip memory that can be accessed way faster than ddr5.

            Cost to performance apple products are very competitive. People often don’t account for quality when they compare these products.

      The question isn’t if the chip is there, but whether the regulations require it to be there.
