Transfer speed seems like a non-issue. Wi-Fi 6 is faster than the the internal SSDs read speed. There's no reason to even plug it in for data.

- zdw 4y agoComparing a shared RF medium to a fairly guaranteed point to point connection is one of those things that in theory works great, but in practice, not so much...
- moffkalast 4y agoPlugging the phone into a laptop seems far easier than connecting both to a shared network and then trying to find the right IPs to connect to. Worse case you even have to make an access point which isn't a gui operation on most laptops.
- donatj 4y agoI'm guessing you don't use Apple devices. AirDrop. Seamless adhoc direct connection. Easier than plugging in a cable.
- moffkalast 4y agoGod forbid you'd ever want to transfer to a non-Apple device amirite? Most of the people that I know that use iPhones don't have Macs. And those with Macs don't have iPhones lol.
- TakeBlaster16 4y agoI don't think "seamless" is a common word people use to describe it. https://old.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/un9rjb/airdrop_has_been_very_unreliable_on_iphonemacbook/ https://old.reddit.com/r/applehelp/comments/un9rjb/airdrop_h...
- staringback 4y agoWi-Fi 6 is faster than the internal SSDs read speed when there is direct line of sight and absolutely no cross channel interference*
- donatj 4y agoAirDrop is dead simple device to device adhoc wifi. If you're close enough to plug it in, you're close enough to have line of sight.
- whyoh 4y ago>Wi-Fi 6 is faster than the internal SSDs read speed... It isn't. Even the upcoming Wi-Fi 7 will be a bottleneck for modern SSDs. But the much bigger problem is interoperability between different devices and OSs for Wi-Fi transfers.
- alain94040 4y agoAre you sure? A quick Google shows: Wifi 6 bandwidth: 9.6 Gbit/s M1 SSD read speed: 6000 MB/s So the read speed is about 6X faster than the Wifi 6 bandwidth.
- maxfurman 4y ago6000 MB/s is 6 GB/s, no? Am I missing something?
- alain94040 4y agoYes: GB vs Gbit. So an order of magnitude.
