I wish that people would understand that the average amount of times anyone who buys a non pro iPhone plugs it into a computer with the intent to transfer data to it is 0. Most of the people I know with iPhones don't even remember syncing at all. Many of them do not own a computer. What's the point of wasting the parts cost?
Didn't they put it in the SoC for the 15 Pro/16 Pro? It's an $800 phone and it's a feature that much cheaper competitors have (e.g. Pixel 8a) . For the times you need it it's handy. I know quite a few people that have been frustrated trying to get GBs of photos off their iPhone too where it runs it problems due to the sheer volume.
They support other niche features like display out so why not support for almost 15 year old USB speeds. How much does it seriously cost to add?
They want you to use wireless as much as possible. Their dream is 0 physical ports. And I say this as an iPhone user and someone who generally likes using Apple products.
I would buy that except they’ve put in full thunderbolt 4 in the pro so they’ve got an insanely fast interconnect on that phone with the same USB-C port.
Granted, that requires a tb4 controller chip but I don’t know if that’s built into the A18 pro or not.

Too bad because wireless airdrop compresses media files.

Do you have a source for this? Even a forum thread with a few people complaining about it would be fine.
You'll need to choose, under Options, to use the "Current" format to prevent "compression".

I don’t see any setting for current format vs compression options on iPhone.
why the hell are you using airdrop??
upload it to icloud and have icloud client in the computer sync it.. It will just show up there automagically..
That is what i do, i have not plugged an iPhone to a computer in ages.. my last three were likely never plugged at all..
Do you constantly clear your free 5GB of iCloud storage or do you pay money to do things that should be achievable for free?
Airdrop pictures and video to other people while traveling on a restricted data limit or no internet.
3GB of stuff after a day of traveling easy.
>"Maybe to save space"
You see, this is the one size fit all argument they can use when nothing else sticks properly
This is a limitation of the non Pro models. Feels a bit like the money grab Apple has going on the memory upgrades.
By using a USB 2.0 port.
