    Pros are usually the ones who need to transfer massive ProRes video files at high speed. The vast majority of regular users don’t.

      Not an excuse when pretty much every other phone has it and has had it for many years.

      And the “pro” branding is just branding bullshit anyways. It doesn’t mean anything.

          Yes, pretty much every new-ish phone (and old-ish when talking flagship phones)

          Of course the very cheap budget options don’t.

        It’s not an excuse, it’s just a reason. If the phone doesn’t have the features you want and you buy it anyway, that’s hardly Apple’s fault.

          It’s stupid and it’s apple’s fault for being behind their competitors.

          It’s not illegal, just fucking stupid.

          I won’t buy an iPhone anyway because of their software.

            So, you’re not even a customer and you’re whining about a product you’d never buy anyway.

            Opinion noted.

              You don’t have to be a customer to complain about stupid design.

                You’re complaining about wanting to buy the wrong model. It’s not the design that’s stupid here.

                  Designing an expensive phone with long outdated specs is stupid.

                    don’t blame the company for your inability to choose the correct model

      But that’s exactly why last year’s 14 Pro came under so much criticism for its slow wired connection: the phone itself supported capturing high resolution, high framerate, high bitrate ProRes video, but didn’t have a way of quickly transferring directly over a cable.

      But also, even regular photos and video can take up a big chunk of space, and having a non-cloud option for practically backing up the contents is helpful.
