They can use last years chip.
Funny enough, I did so just last month. At first I tried it over wireless but it was far too slow. I was moving dozens of GBs of video to my phone. I do that whenever I’m prepping for a plane flight.
If you’re using a platform that doesn’t try and force you to do everything wirelessly, a cable that runs full speed is very useful actually
Even back when I used android (I switched earlier this year) I found it far faster and easier to move data wirelessly than over a cable, even a USB-C. First I had to fight with my computer and phone to connect to one another… Or I could just upload to box on my phone, refresh on my computer and move the file.
Has nothing to do with the concept of a cable.
Wait what? I bought a USB drive for transferring between my phone and computer, what is this ‘box’ you speak of?
It’s basically dropbox or Google Drive.
You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. The majprity of apples users will not use the port for data. There’s a couple use cases, but they’re all niche
@BURN @SuperFola iOS development is one case…
iOS development linking can now be done wirelessly, and from all accounts it works 95-99% of the way
You’re good, I had the same ask a while back when discussing if they could go portless
