What's the tangible difference between opening iTunes and opening a file explorer app? Nothing. Both scenarios of file management require opening a program and moving files around. The name of the program is rather irrelevant. Even navigating to the device/app is maybe one more click than finding your phone's storage over a network share or when physically connected.
And you've only got to physically connect to iTunes once, after that you can just upload files over local wifi. You've constructed yourself a scenario where iOS is the loser for you, but for anyone with a Windows or Mac computer (what, 97% of the world?), "finding the iTunes computer" is not a difficult task.
How about we call a molehill a molehill instead of a mountain?
- Touche 13y agoIf I have to copy a large file (movies can be 10gb) to a computer first and then copy to it to the iPad, that is not a molehill, that's an major inconvenience, and a major time-sink. Of course, I fundamentally disagree that having to use a computer to get data onto another computer is a small inconvenience.

- Touche 13y agoI said from the beginning that transferring data to a computer before you transfer it to another computer is wasteful and inconvenient. Apparently when I use an example that you can't dispute you call this "moving the goalposts".
- evilduck 13y agoWhy should I refute you ad nauseum? You're very obviously not looking for answers.
