Do you really use USB-C to transfer data or to charge your phone? It’s been years since I used it for data, so I don’t think that’s a problem, in a world where cloud is becoming the norm.
You’re being downvoted, but you’re right. The majprity of apples users will not use the port for data. There’s a couple use cases, but they’re all niche
That’s my point, maybe it wasn’t clear enough. I think people that need to transfer a lot of data often to and from their phone can justify taking the Pro model (photographers, video makers, etc)
Even back when I used android (I switched earlier this year) I found it far faster and easier to move data wirelessly than over a cable, even a USB-C. First I had to fight with my computer and phone to connect to one another… Or I could just upload to box on my phone, refresh on my computer and move the file.
Funny enough, I did so just last month. At first I tried it over wireless but it was far too slow. I was moving dozens of GBs of video to my phone. I do that whenever I’m prepping for a plane flight.

@BURN @SuperFola iOS development is one case…
iOS development linking can now be done wirelessly, and from all accounts it works 95-99% of the way
@BURN true… I still use a cable for reliability. Sorry to have interjected here😅
You’re good, I had the same ask a while back when discussing if they could go portless
If you’re using a platform that doesn’t try and force you to do everything wirelessly, a cable that runs full speed is very useful actually

Wait what? I bought a USB drive for transferring between my phone and computer, what is this ‘box’ you speak of?
https://www.box.com
It’s basically dropbox or Google Drive.
Has nothing to do with the concept of a cable.
Then, what is it you’re actually complaining about?
So that’s a “no”

Is there a positive to throttling their tech?
They didn’t throttle anything. The iPhone 15’s chip simply can’t xfer at the higher speed.
They can use last years chip.
