Ahh. Totally understand that kind of day man. Truly I do and what an ASS for making that kind of comment. That can not be defended in any way. Sorry that kind of crap got dumped on you today.

Yeah the lightning cable only having USB2 speeds sucked since it was never upgraded.

I completely agree with your assessment of the “innovations”. I remember the conference they got ride of the 3.5 mm headphone Jack and they said “the courage” to do something bold. Bwahahaha. It just means everyone needed to buy an adapter for the accessories.

In terms of using the cord I guess I am the minority then. Sorry for assuming the other way around.

I think you're probably in the majority, just maybe not people you run into on Lemmy.

I personally don't have any family members who ever transfer data with a cable from their phone that I know of. Even at work, I would say only a minority do (although the age demographic is skewed older, so just understanding the phone itself is a big deal).

Also if you google number of people who use physical connectors to backup data, you get a flood of results asking if it's even possible lol
