    It seems to be that you are misunderstanding the entire tech concept. There is no “downgrading” the A16 chip from last year’s pro model is the USB controller. They simply aren’t upgrading that chip. It seems that you didn’t read the article and thus didn’t know the processors for the phone are what are controlling the USB. There is no “forcefully crippling the speed of usb” its a simple matter of taking last years top tier chip and putting it in the Second tier phone this year. This is how tech works. You don’t redesign all your products, you redesign the top tier and then move those advancements down the chain next year.

    The comparison was not about a cable vs wifi. It was about the chip on the device as that is the crux of the situation and the pointed out almost at the top of the article.

    No need to be rude or insulting with the blood flowing to the brain comment. Again this seems to be fan boy attitude to shit on “the other side” and be insulting to win the argument. I have no stake in this other than pointing out that people are freaking out and getting upset because they didn’t redesign the phone and architecture for $X to increase the speed of something almost no IOS user even uses.

    An honest question, do you actually use your cord the transfer data from your phone or tablet? Personally I never use the cord on my Galaxy Tab, It easier to use Wi-Fi and a shared folder on my NAS.

      Glad to know the chip from thei last year flagship phone can only handle a tech that’s more than 10 years olders. Truly a marvel of technology.

      Sorry, went overboard there. I had a shitty day and i had discussion with a friend that defended apple like his life depended on it and just dropped the “you just can’t afford it argument”. That plus, my hate toward apple for being the origin of every shitty decision on the phone market like no replaceable battery ,no earphones with the phone, forcing Bluetooth earphones…etc

      Absolutely. Everyone i know does.
