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

  Setting up a network file share or FTP server or whatever and the app to access it is muuuch more effort than just plugging my phone in and using it like any other flash storage device, plus USB3 transfer speeds are better.

  For me it’s just simpler and less prone to error is all.

    If you are dealing with large amounts of data I get it. I’d go hardwired too. Most people’s use case is “I took some video today and I want to mirror it to my computer”. That doesn’t sound like the case.

    How much data are you moving around?

    Lol, you can literally have a simple program running on PC which syncs the phone automatically via WiFi while charging overnight.

      I struggled with iOS’ Wi-Fi syncing for almost a year before giving up on it. It was garbage. My use case is to sync photos to the desktop photos app and music to the desktop music app.

        Oh, I see typical apple anti trust: make stuff apple don’t like to offer, but kinda have to, very bad to use. Well then, have you tried this? imazing.com

    For easy fast sharing over local LAN there are services like pairdrop.net which are far from hard to use.
