  My phone is 6 years old at this point, was only $350, and uses USB-C.

    USB-C is a connector and, by itself, says nothing about the protocol in use. That’s the important part.

      5Ghz wifi and Airdrop is what Apple wants people to use. I stopped connecting a USB cable except for doing a physical backup with iMazing on this 256GB model. I just trust the hard line more when making a 232GB backup.

      • USB2.0/3.0 = 480MB/s
      • USB3.1 G1 = 625MB/s
      • 5Ghz Wifi = 850-1000MB/s
      • USB3.2 G2x2 = 2500MB/s

    Is it USB 2.0

    • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      It only fast charges in a 3.0 port so I’m gonna have to assume it’s 3.0 not 2.0.

        That has nothing to do with whether it’s USB 2.0 or 3.0 because it’s backwards compatible. What phone do you have?

        Disagree. My Redmi Note 11 can charge up to 33W using my Anker Nano II (65W). It has USB 2.0

    My Nothing Phone 1 is USB 2.0. I’ve never used it to transfer data

  I don’t use data on the USB port very often and when I do it’s always to make an access point over USB so the USB2.0 bandwidth is enough for my use.

  I wonder if people really have a use for USB3.

  Apart from making phone more expensive, I don’t see a real need for me

    Argument can be made if your camera doesn’t support 4k or 60fps, there’s very little need for higher speeds than USB2.0 since files generated won’t be as big. However if you keep using your phone as a camera to record long videos, then yes it’s annoying to have slower interface.

    • pedro@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That’s a valid point.

      Also is there’s a USB3 controller at all in the phone to connect the camera inside the phone? Or does the camera talk on a different bus on the SoC?

      • MeanEYE@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        With Apple devices I honestly don’t know. With others SoC is the one exposing the rest of the hardware and acts are intermediate. Historically in general giving DMA access to any hardware on the system has proven fatal when it comes to security. You do gain speed, but expose so much in the process.

  it’s not universally true, there are plenty of cheap and expensive models with USB 3
