    Do you really use USB-C to transfer data or to charge your phone? It’s been years since I used it for data, so I don’t think that’s a problem, in a world where cloud is becoming the norm.

      You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. The majprity of apples users will not use the port for data. There’s a couple use cases, but they’re all niche

        That’s my point, maybe it wasn’t clear enough. I think people that need to transfer a lot of data often to and from their phone can justify taking the Pro model (photographers, video makers, etc)

          iOS development linking can now be done wirelessly, and from all accounts it works 95-99% of the way

              You’re good, I had the same ask a while back when discussing if they could go portless

      If you’re using a platform that doesn’t try and force you to do everything wirelessly, a cable that runs full speed is very useful actually

        Even back when I used android (I switched earlier this year) I found it far faster and easier to move data wirelessly than over a cable, even a USB-C. First I had to fight with my computer and phone to connect to one another… Or I could just upload to box on my phone, refresh on my computer and move the file.

      Funny enough, I did so just last month. At first I tried it over wireless but it was far too slow. I was moving dozens of GBs of video to my phone. I do that whenever I’m prepping for a plane flight.

      Is there a positive to throttling their tech?

        They didn’t throttle anything. The iPhone 15’s chip simply can’t xfer at the higher speed.
