    Seriously… the number of people plugging their phones in to transfer anything to/from an iPhone is in the single digit percentages, if that.

      How can you possibly know that without a scientific research?

        I work with Apple products all day and work with people using them every day. I can’t remember when we had someone who actually plugged in their phone to do anything other than charge. My company has been working with iPhone users every day for years so we’re talking thousands of people. I have a pretty good sample size and would say that our work basically amounts to extensive research.

        Also, just look at the responses here and otherwise. Even the number of people that still demand a headphone jack is limited to techies and less-than-single-digit percentages.

          The downvoted here are insane. Just Android fanboys trying to dunk on iPhones for a reason no iPhone user cares about at all. I agree 100%. No one buying the non-pros plugs in for data transfer anymore.

            I know. It’s ok. I have a MagSafe charger on my nightstand and sync everything else to iCloud, Google Drive, and a NAS, depending on the need. There is literally no reason for me to ever plug this thing in.

              Yea… I stream directly off my NAS if I need to. Plug-in in is inconvenient no matter the speed.
