So I was on apples website comparing the air to my IPhone 15 Pro , and it actually is a slight upgrade in battery and was willing to look past the smaller camera array , 1 less gpu core but gain 20% in cpu performance.

But im sorry no way in hell I could go back to usb2.0 , I use my iPhone 15 pro usb port to transfer files all the time and that is literally the one thing that I could not give up!

Maybe next year Apple!

Many folks will find some "the one thing that I could not give up" that prevents them from moving to a new device. E.g. in my case camera competence forces me to the iPhone Pros.

Here's the thing, using Wifi 6 to transfer files between devices is plenty fast for 90% of users. Like it's 4x faster than USB 2. Now if you are doing a ton of video recording and then editing on a different device...yeah the Air is not for you...even with wifi data transfer.

What are you using to transfer via wifi ? Native files app or a different app ?

Any app that can airdrop should be able to take advantage of WiFi speeds to transfer. But thinking about it a bit more now, airdrop isn’t an option with Windows. So I can see why USB 2 speeds may be less than ideal if not also using a Mac.
