Okay and? I transferred an album to my phone via USB two days ago. Your experiences are not the same as others'.
I too haven’t plugged my phone in to transfer anything since the 6s, obviously there are people who do like yourself and Apple limiting transfer speeds is ridiculous but the majority of people are basically using the cable for charging, I don’t have data to prove it but anecdotally I’d bet I’m right
They shouldn’t have capped the speeds but I highly doubt this will be an issue that the average person cares about
That’s fine. If you’re using an iPhone you’ll literally get better speed for the last decade by unplugging your phone and doing the exact same thing over WiFi.
Different poster here: WiFi sucks and my whole house is wired for gigabit Ethernet. I use USB as well for this reason.

I get good speeds if I’m right next to the router too, but across the house where all my stuff is, I do not get good coverage. I am aware I can purchase things to fix that, but I’m not going to because everything is wired up and I prefer it that way.
You’re in the extremely small minority (me too). My company has worked remote for twenty years and maybe 2% of users plug in wired ever. Programmers and Statisticians.
Wtf why would I get off my ass if I can just plug the damn thing in
Oh hun hold on I need to pause what we’re watching so I can go do phone shit over by the router while I transfer things over because I HAVE to do it wirelessly for some reason
Nah I’ll just plug it in thanks
…that’s a way to shoot the entire conversation down. Regardless of that guy’s WiFi speeds, and the fact that range of the router and the size of their house is a thing, you do realise third world countries exist with shit internet right?
I didn’t even say my internet speed before that guy was like “U R LIE”
I have gigabit up and down hahaha. My router lives in a room near the entrance of my house that I only use to like.. enter my house hahahaha
I’m right next to my computer. I can plug something in by… reaching forward. What is this Reddit “let me fix a problem you don’t have” bullshit you’re spewing?
I have 1Gb u/d and have no idea what my WiFi speeds are next to my router. Like I said, my house is an Ethernet house.
