Accidental Tech Podcast656: A Long T-Shirt
https://atp.fm/656
The iPhone event! Reactions and analysis of the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and Air; the Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3; and the AirPods Pro 3.
Frytech@atpfm I’m perplexed why you guys didn’t say a word that #Apple still continues their absolute BS USB2.0 speeds from literally the year 2000 in all non-Pro phones!
How come you care about 120hz on #iPhone17 but not about the fact that it takes literally 20 times longer to transfer files?!
5 minutes vs 1.5+ hours!
And Airdrop is still way slower and less reliable than the cable btw!
Why’s nobody calling Apple out on this absolute nonsense now that they’re using USB-C!
John Siracusa@frytech Already in Follow-Up for the next episode!
@siracusa Nice, can’t wait!
I sincerely hope we can all collectively pressure Apple to at least give us the USB speeds from the year — checks notes:
1. 2008 — 5Gbit/s, (USB3.0)
2. 2013 — 10Gbit/s (USB3.1)
3. 2017 — 20Gbit/s (USB3.2)
4. 2019 — 40Gbit/s (USB4)
5. 2022 — 80Gbit/s (USB4v2)
🤦🏻♂️🫠
Anything over current year 2000 - 0.48Gbit/s (USB2.0) will be an improvement🙄
