    Why are you getting downvoted 🤔 I’m pretty sure apple would have kept lighting on the “cheap” phones until the complete removal of any port (I assume they kill the port on the “cheap” phone in the next 5 years) and give the pro thunderbolt like they did this year. I’m thinking this, because I bet not even 1% of “cheap” iPhone users uses the port for data transfer (keep in mind that 1% of “cheap” iPhone users are still plenty talking in absolute numbers)

      Just because Apple forced their users to switch everything to wireless, doesn’t mean cables are obsolete.

      More users would use cable if it was actually decently implemented, like with many Android manufacturers.

      Because cable has many advantages over wireless, like having transfer speeds more than 10 times faster.
