Apple iPhone 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro

Apple finally put USB-C in the new iPhone, but it's inexplicably limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds

Okay and? I transferred an album to my phone via USB two days ago. Your experiences are not the same as others'.

I too haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer anything since the 6s, obviously there are people who do like yourself and Apple limiting transfer speeds is ridiculous but the majority of people are basically using the cable for charging, I don’t have data to prove it but anecdotally I’d bet I’m right

They shouldn’t have capped the speeds but I highly doubt this will be an issue that the average person cares about

That’s fine. If you’re using an iPhone you’ll literally get better speed for the last decade by unplugging your phone and doing the exact same thing over WiFi.

Different poster here: WiFi sucks and my whole house is wired for gigabit Ethernet. I use USB as well for this reason.

Different poster here Wifi doesn't suck

I get good speeds if I’m right next to the router too, but across the house where all my stuff is, I do not get good coverage. I am aware I can purchase things to fix that, but I’m not going to because everything is wired up and I prefer it that way.

You’re in the extremely small minority (me too). My company has worked remote for twenty years and maybe 2% of users plug in wired ever. Programmers and Statisticians.
