@gruber An iPhone can transfer video over Wi-Fi at vastly higher rates than USB 2? Or am I missing something about that—Files or...?

@glennf Not that much faster.

@gruber Damn, Daniel, am I going to have to test this now? Or wait for USB-C. BTW, the anger and frustration over USB-C seems to have settled—I no longer get the same volume of email about it or read the same frustration in bulk online. The reason? Cheaper cables and more of them. People were particularly angry when it was both *confusing* and *expensive*. Also, OWC has a quite affordable Thunderbolt 4/USB4 cable line-up: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/owc-thunderbolt-4-cables

“confusing” and “expensive” is no way to go through life, son.

To be truthful, even FireWire had this issue. On top of that you get all sorts of wiggle room of compliance, and then the product cycle of peripherals never catching up and becoming compatible before the target moves.
