    Why should apple spend the time to develop features that their users aren’t asking for and don’t seem to care about? Again, this is just overblown outrage over something the vast majority of users literally don’t know or care about. If you do care about it, then you’ll probably know which phone you want anyway.

      Because it’s convenient no matter who you are, everybody benefits from faster transfer speeds. Competition is using usb 3.2 and apple with it’s 160 billion dollars profit couldn’t? And it’s not like they are developing it from scratch. I don’t get it why can’t you keep multi billion dollar corporations up to a certain standard. This is 2023, not 2003.

        It’s more that I don’t presume to know the full reason behind every decision they make.

        The A16 processor that’s just made its way to the iPhone didn’t have usb3 on chip, the new A17 on the iPhone pro does. My assumption is that next year when iPhone presumably moves to the A17 that it will then have usb3 speeds.

        Not everything has to be some nefarious plot, damn.

      See, you’re assuming that this would have taken time and money to develop. Usb3 is ubiquitous at this point, it probably doesn’t even cost any more to include, or if it does, it’s a trivial amount. This isn’t apple “not adding a feature” this is apple purposely removing features to push people to the more expensive versions

        It’s not built into the A16 chip that is in the iPhone, but it’s been added to the A17 that’s in the pro. You think there’s space in these devices to just add an extra chip? Get real.
