    What? USB 2.0 is 480mbps. Much faster than most wifi routers (you need non-cheap 2x2 (i think) antenna to get >300mbps speeds on routers in ideal conditions).

      I’m connected to my WiFi 5 router right now at 702 Mbps. With WiFi 6 you can get significantly faster speeds.

      USB 2.0 speeds are horrible for modern wired connections and equipment, and that 480 Mbps is theoretical max, not what you’ll actually experience on the wire.

      That’s fair, fortunately I have a good AP.

      Still though, with iPhones being as expensive as they are and their cameras being able to save some large photos/videos, it’s silly that it has to transfer them at such slow speeds.

      Having actually read the article now, I am at least glad the pro might support higher speeds.
