Honestly, iOS is so locked down that it really doesn’t matter for most of the population. The only thing some people will be doing is syncing music and other media from iTunes or whatever the new Apple app is now called.
I’m one of those people but definitely in the minority, what with music streaming and video streaming, the days of syncing burned CDs and bought digital music is a thing of the past, sad to say.
Those speeds matter more for Android devices that do more when connecting to another device.
Not to say I defend Apple for this…it is dumb they went this route. Maybe even safe to say greedy on their part but I don’t know enough about the technical reasoning to say that for sure.
