I copy photos and videos off my phone all the time; it’s far more convenient than trying to send it over the internet. But even the “slow” speed of 480Mbps that they’re complaining about seems more than adequate; copying a few gigs of photos will only take a minute or two, and even copying my phone’s entire 128GB of storage would only take 35 minutes. Compared to most USB storage devices that’s blazingly fast.
If I didnt use SMB at home and Immich to transfer pictures from my phone I would be very mad.
On my vacation I transfered videos from my action cam to my phone for cloud backup (no laptop with me).
It would be very inconvenient to have only USB2 speed available.
I rarely take 128GB worth of photos at once so background iCloud sync is fast enough so that when I take a photo on my phone it’s visible on my Mac a minute or so after that.
