This stuff transfers over WiFi quickly. I don’t think 99.9% of iPhone owners have even plugged a phone into a computer in the last 10 years.
I’ll go and shoot 30gb of photos and within a half hour of uploading them they’re synced to iCloud.
Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro
Polar@lemmy.ca 1 year agoWhat? Do you realize how insanely slow USB 2 is? Good luck transferring even a tiny ass video. I don’t think you need to be a pro user to want to transfer some media from your phone and not take all day…

Shit, the only place I even plug my phone into now is my car because I was too dumb to wait a few months for the refresh that came with wireless CarPlay.
I use MagSafe at home for all of my charging, and airdrop/airplay for pretty much everything else that isn’t synced to iCloud.

Get yourself a wired to wireless CarPlay adapter.

I’ve thought about it. I haven’t decided how long I’m keeping this car though. The practical mind in me says keep it until the wheels fall off.
The enthusiast in me really wants a dark horse Mustang though lol.

Apple has been pushing users away from transferring data over cable for years anyway. Most users will sync files over wifi.
Annoying, as that should be the users choice, but I doubt the average iPhone user will even notice. Iirc the lightning connector was also limited to USB 2.0 speeds and only some particular power users ever complained about that.

It's not that slow, how'd you think I transferred stuff off a CompactFlash card with raw files off my DSLR before USB 3.0? I'd regularly dump several GBs worth of files out after a shoot. It'd take a few minutes but it's not the end of the world.

USB 2 can transfer 1 gigabyte in about 20 seconds
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Most people using Apple devices don’t transfer media via cord anymore. The average user only uses the cloud for those things.
I’ve had an iPhone for the last 10 years and can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve needed to use a cable instead of iCloud/Dropbox/other file share service.

Transfering video via cord is actually apples suggested way of sending videos to android phones because they’re too lazy and monopolous to adopt RCS.
BURN@lemmy.world 1 year ago
RCS is also a google monopoly. Can’t call out Apple for being a monopoly without also applying the same standard to google. RCS is technically open, but in order to work they require googles servers.
I just send video over Dropbox if I want to share full res. But that is the first legitimate use I’ve seen.

What’s to stop apple from using their own servers in accordance with the published specs from the GSMA, the industry nonprofit that started and steers the project by committee? Im not putting it past google to be a monopoly either, but I can’t find any info that suggests apple is being shut out of doing it themselves. ATT has their own implementation away from googles RSC servers.
