This is such an overblown complaint. I’d wager a bet that a VAST majority of users never do any data transfer from their cell phones at all anyway, but if you are someone that needs faster transfer, the pro supports it.
Christ, who cares if you use it or not, it's a standard that's been used for years. "Most people charge phones overnight, so why put bigger battery? " You're paying thousand dollars for a phone and you don't even get USB 3, and you're expected to pay even more for a basic feature??
Why should apple spend the time to develop features that their users aren’t asking for and don’t seem to care about? Again, this is just overblown outrage over something the vast majority of users literally don’t know or care about. If you do care about it, then you’ll probably know which phone you want anyway.
See, you're assuming that this would have taken time and money to develop. Usb3 is ubiquitous at this point, it probably doesn't even cost any more to include, or if it does, it's a trivial amount. This isn't apple "not adding a feature" this is apple purposely removing features to push people to the more expensive versions
It’s not built into the A16 chip that is in the iPhone, but it’s been added to the A17 that’s in the pro. You think there’s space in these devices to just add an extra chip? Get real.
