sure, wirelessly.
Comment on Apple's USB-C transition is a confusing mess (and that might be on purpose)

Oh i see. How’s the transfer speed?
dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I get 6mB /s or so, but it copies in the background. I also use it to copy media to my phone.

They let iCloud do the thing. Their computers don’t have that much storage.

I backup to my computer. It actually has more storage than iCloud and I don’t trust any cloud with my private data.

I’m sure we’ll find much evidence for hobbyists on Lemmy having different use cases from the general public but Apple wasn’t ever interested in supporting that niche at budget prices because there’s little money to be made there.
Regular person doesn’t need much offline storage because they download apps from the App Store, listen to music from a streaming service and sync photos to iCloud or Google Photos. Those people probably shouldn’t store their data offline either way because they won’t back it up properly. It’s another case of Apple treating general public like incompetent grannies but they’re kind of right about that.

Not true. Difference in cost between USB 2&3 is negligible. They’ve just done this to create artificial value for the “Pro” models. Same way they create artificial value with ram and storage.
