this isn't a problem I have, it is a problem I know other people have. solved by faster transfer speeds than what Wifi or any airdrop combo offers. I am completely aware of how to avoid the problem, I am also completely aware of how to make it less of a problem with faster transfer speeds.

why are you worried about accessories? Apple absolutely is not worried about that, one of their favorite things to do is pull the rug under accessory holders.

This simply isn’t borne out by fact. The entire iPod, iPhone and iPad (non-Pro) range, going back over 20 years, have had exactly two connectors.

I bet there isn’t someone at Samsung or Motorola who can even tell you how many different connectors their products have used over that period of time, let alone what they were.
