The fact that the Pro (or any device) supports a newer USB protocol doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to take advantage of the full speed. It might just be as slow as the non Pro with USB 2.0.

The only people who need the USB 3 transfer speeds are going to be Pro users. For everyone else, it doesn't matter.

Are they really this spiteful? Wow

So, how do you sell this to a regular user? We’re probably getting new phones in this round and I want the Pro but still trying to sell that choice. My kid’s Mom has never used the data connector so how can I sell her on that as one of the features she wants?

Note on our weird situation but we have two teens and our pattern is to buy new, and give our 2-4 year old phones to the kids. For this to work, we really need to have identical phone models

I feel like not many people actually use the data port on their phones anymore, I know I haven't used my android USB port for anything other than fast charging for I feel like 10 years. Do you even use the data connector on your phone?
