Typical dumb iPhone user
Comment on iPhone 15's USB-C Port Remains Limited to Lightning Speeds

I don’t know any Apple users who actually use the cable. iCloud is effortless.
I don’t think it’s so much to force people to pay for storage insomuch as only people shooting 4k 60 long videos or people with very poor internet actually plug in to transfer data.
I would hate plugging my phone into my computer even if it were instant.

Yeah, why would you love doing something that takes literally only two seconds to do? So stupid.

Because I have to think about it and remember to do it. And have enough storage in my laptop that it can store all my full res files and bring that with me everywhere.
And hope my laptop doesn’t get stolen again. Or have a plan to back that up.
I currently do literally nothing and all my photos and videos are seamlessly everywhere.
I’m not sure I understand how anyone could think syncing over a cable is a better solution.
iCloud backups and photo sync is amazing, especially while traveling. I can be almost anywhere and break or lose or hVe my phone stolen and lose virtually no data anywhere in the world.
