    That’s disgusting. Knowing for some that would be a dealbreaker to upgrade to the pro.

      And thus they get extra money for the sale of the more expensive one. That’s the plan for why the cheaper model exists anyway

      Honestly I can’t imagine anyone that would care enough about hardwire transfer speeds more than raw performance. Imo, anyone that cares about those raw transfer speeds will already want the A17 Pro and wouldn’t settle for the A16 Bionic.

        I think there’s high speed and standard speed. I’d understand more if the pro was thunderbolt and the non pro was usb 3. Going usb2 is way below standard speed in this day and age.
