Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report::undefined
If you want to do local backups via iTunes or transfer multiple large video files then USB 2.0 speeds are horrendously slow. I do both of these fairly regularly.
Luckily I can transfer videos over wifi, which is much faster than USB 2.0 speed (but still slower than transferring over USB 3.1, which I can do with an android). Backing up my phone requires I leave it there nearly all day because the transfer speeds are so slow and doing wireless backups via iTunes on Windows is broken.
What? USB 2.0 is 480mbps. Much faster than most wifi routers (you need non-cheap 2x2 (i think) antenna to get >300mbps speeds on routers in ideal conditions).
That’s fair, fortunately I have a good AP.
Still though, with iPhones being as expensive as they are and their cameras being able to save some large photos/videos, it’s silly that it has to transfer them at such slow speeds.
Having actually read the article now, I am at least glad the pro might support higher speeds.
