aren't there reports apple is slowing down the usb C depending on the model?
I don't think I've transfered data to my phone via wire in the better part of a decade
One person's use case is not another person's use case. There should be no reason for apple to artificially slow down a standard tool, for sales purposes.
https://www.macworld.com/article/1384522/iphone-15-usb-c-port-data-transfer-speeds.html they don't want to show lightning is slower it seems. If that's the reasonin?
They can’t slow down the charging rate unless they want to get in trouble with the EU. If they’re planning to limit the data transfer rate for, say, non-Pro iPhones, that would suck, but then again all iPhones to date have been USB 2.0 at best, and USB Type-C is just the connector and doesn’t say anything about data transfer rates anyway.
https://www.macworld.com/article/1384522/iphone-15-usb-c-port-data-transfer-speeds.html This is just one of many. It APPEARS they don't want to show lightning is slower, but who really knows.
