I think the chances of that are pretty solid, but it will apparently still be USB 2.0 speeds.
To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I used the lightning plug to transfer any data, so it’s not a current feature I will miss. But it’s a huge, missed opportunity for sure.
At the highest quality setting, the iPhone 14 Pro captures video footage that is 6 GB per minute. At USB 2.0 speeds, files can be transferred at around 3.6 GB per minute. Typical wifi direct/Airdrop speeds are about 3-5 GB per minute. And thunderbolt speeds are 100 times faster, at 5 GB/s or 300 GB/minute.
For some purposes that USB 2.0 speed would be a significant bottleneck. It's up to the buyer to decide whether those use cases are likely.
Agreed, not just seems like such an oddity. But I believe the new USB-C iPad is 2.0, so whatever "hack" they did for that is probably what they're doing for the iPhones. Seems almost like they rushed it with the incoming regulations.
I bet the Pro uses Thunderbolt, and the regular is USB 2 speeds. Just my gut feeling. “You can hook up the pro to our special version of Logic Pro and edit directly on your phone! You can maybe move a your music library over to the non-pro in about 4 hours.”
