    Fair point. Them not at least using USB 3 across the line up is silly and I don’t really see what they gain from doing it apart from maybe saving a cent in production.

    But on the other hand I don’t think it matters either. The vast majority of people probably don’t plug their phone in for anything but charging and the few people that record large video files on their phone will probably get a pro model either.

    So yeah USB 2 speeds are silly and I don’t want to defend a trillion dollar company for saving a cent on production but I don’t think it matters either.

      Creating revenue streams is far more valuable than cutting costs.

      Apple does a phenomenal job in providing solutions to problems they created in the first place.

      • Get rid of ports on the computer ➡️ Buy adapters
      • Get rid of the headphone jack ➡️ Buy AirPods
      • Proprietary lightning port ➡️ Buy more unstandardized cables/adapters
      • No expandable memory ➡️ Buy an iCloud subscription
      • No spare/replaceable battery ➡️ Buy a battery replacement service
      • Little thing breaks ➡️ Shoulda bought AppleCare to make it somewhat less expensive
