    I doubt your typical apple user will use the usb port for anything other than charging.

    If they are going to improve transfer speeds it’s not going to happen in the same iteration they’re being made to switch to usb c for two reasons:

    1. They want to incetivise users to upgrade to a newer model 16
    2. They will want to take credit for faster speeds. Otherwise people will think usb c is just faster than lighting they were stuck with for years.

      The reason is that like with the iPhone 14, in the non-Pro models they put the SoC from the previous year’s Pro model, and that one was only designed for Lightning so only USB 2.0. So the non-Pro will get USB 3 once the USB 3-supporting SoC trickles down from the Pro.
