  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.

    That’s not the point. USB 3 is 15 years old and has been widely available for 13 years. Most would expect a new $800 flagship phone to have modern standards.

      That’s not their flagship phone. The Pro is. And the pro supports usb3. For the vast majority of users that don’t give a shit about data transfer speed via a cable, this just doesn’t matter at all.

        The base iPhone 15 is still a “premium” phone, it costs 2x as much as Google’s A series phones, and google never had a problem putting USB 3 on those. Maybe most people won’t do this, but it’s obviously important enough that they didn’t do the same on the pro version. It’s so weird to see people defending a company purposely gimping their phones just to give them upsells.

  When was the last time you transferred data to or from your phone by cable? The USB port is mostly only for charging.

    I torrent movies on my phone and move them to my media server all the time.
    Having USB 3.0 on my phone makes it a lot faster than it would be with 2.0

        Just because I use my phones usb port often doesn’t mean others who don’t should get obsolete technology.

        Not to also mention most people probably don’t want to pay for cloud storage and transferring images to a computer with more storage makes the most sense for those people.

        what are those people gonna do when their $900 phone that they overplayed for takes 3 hours to transfer 50gb worth of photos?

  Because the controller in the base model supports only 2.0, next year the base model will get the pro chip from this year with 3.0 support, nothing really new
