To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I used the lightning plug to transfer any data, so it’s not a current feature I will miss. But it’s a huge, missed opportunity for sure.
Agreed, not just seems like such an oddity. But I believe the new USB-C iPad is 2.0, so whatever “hack” they did for that is probably what they’re doing for the iPhones. Seems almost like they rushed it with the incoming regulations.
At the highest quality setting, the iPhone 14 Pro captures video footage that is 6 GB per minute. At USB 2.0 speeds, files can be transferred at around 3.6 GB per minute. Typical wifi direct/Airdrop speeds are about 3-5 GB per minute. And thunderbolt speeds are 100 times faster, at 5 GB/s or 300 GB/minute.
For some purposes that USB 2.0 speed would be a significant bottleneck. It’s up to the buyer to decide whether those use cases are likely.
