[–] phx@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 years ago That's not the only reason for fast I/O though. Yeah it's convenient for a quick transfer/backup of large files but there's also the ability to use peripherals that require higher rates. USB3 has been around since 2008 so it's not really unreasonable to expect a modern phone to support a spec that's over a decade old... permalink fedilink source parent
[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 12 points 3 years ago (4 children) So your argument is unless you have sex no one needs an organ for it? More to the point USB can be used for so much more than just data transfer. I know Apple hasn't provided you folk with any option like those and it's a "revolutionary and brave move" waiting to happen 5-10 years after everyone else... but my phone has HDMI out, USB hub which has keyboard, mouse and external drive connected.
