Speed for iPhone 15 Pro is USB 3 20x faster than the regular iPhone 15.

This implies 10Gbps (USB 3.1 gen 2x1 or 3.2 gen 1x2) on the pro and 480Mbps (USB 2.0) on the standard phone.

10Gbps is perfectly reasonable given the devices cap out at 1tb. If people can tolerate iPhones taking hours to charge, I doubt they're going to mind the minutes a wired data transfer takes.

480Mbps is so bad you're better off using Wifi in every situation I can think of.

It's 1 terabyte vs 10 gigabits. It would take 13.5 minutes to flush the entire disk out via the USB port.

The iPhone 15 Pro can even directly record video to an external storage device (4k60).
