I can't think of the last time I transferred a file to my phone using the USB port. Photos get backed up automatically. Everything is wireless.
The last time I tried to copy multiple large videos from iPhone to PC it failed multiple times so I ended up just syncing with dropbox.
Oh, you did remind me of a time I used a USB cable to transfer data. It was all the assets for a game that I was datamining. It failed multiple times as well, so I had to write a script to restart it every time it failed until it got it all.
I can't remember why I didn't use wifi for that.
I transfer music to my phone all the time with the cable. I own a phone with a large amount of storage and have a $10 a month plan with limited data though. Still like to have music on it for workouts/the car. So I'm a weirdo.
The weird thing about it is that iPhones tend to be used by photography enthusiasts because it can shoot in ProRes and RAW, which create huge files. That shit can take forever to transfer over lightning port speeds.
