      I had this question as well. I don’t think I’ve physically plugged my iPhone 11 in for data/photo/video syncing since I got it. Everything is super fast over wifi, there’s no reason for a cord. Only thing I use the port for is charging and sometimes audio. I’d probably have been fine if they dropped the port, but I’m happy they kept it for now.

        Hey I’m with you, don’t really need faster wired data speeds.

        But I guess Apple has changed their goals if they are leaving out common functionality available in all other flagship devices simply because it’s not strictly necessary 🤷

          I think it should have had USB 3, but iPhone 15 isn’t Apple’s flagship device.

      You’d be surprised how much vlogging and videography is performed with iPhones. Even LMG use one for GameLinked
