I don’t want to be super angry. That sounds awful. Am I really supposed to be?

Can someone make a case that a large group of mainstream iPhone users are plugging in their phones and need better charging speeds? More than 480mbps? And if that were true, where was the upheaval during the Lightning port area? I look around and I just don’t see this group of people, but maybe I’m missing something.

This is what Apple is like as a company though. It's always been baffling that so many people that work in IT and should know better champion them so much.

Being different is really important to some people I guess.

The irony being that owning an iPhone (at least in the US) is the majority.

Liking and owning Apple isn't being different. It's being part of the herd.

I don't think I've ever plugged my iPhone in. I've always used Qi charging. Should I still complain?

This has nothing to do with charging. It's data transfer.

I imagine cabled data transfer is even more niche than cabled charging, especially amongst the non-pro crowd.

Yes, that was the point I was trying to make. Why would should users complain about a spec-sheet item that they don't use.
