No seriously this issue is really bugging me, Backing up and transferring files or moving photos on to the computer (mac OR PC) is SLOWWW like usb 2.0 speeds! and NO one is questioning this?! its 2024 and we really need some answers!
@@Anonymouscat331 Very true! It’s just insane - I’ve been using the Samsung T7 ssd trick for close to full speed 10gigabit transfers, so much faster even when having to do it twice, but that step should be *totally* unnecessary, help spread the word and tweet or pester some of the big ones on the internets and hopefully we can get some traction :)
@ That is just wrong in so many levels :/ I have capitulated and just got a Samsung T7 SSD which is 10 gigabits or second, and 6 gigabyte of data now takes 8-10 seconds … wooooosh
It’s just incredible how this has slipped under the radar of Apple Quality Control … or even worse: they know about it but don’t care because most people use Airdrop.
@@skymakai Thanks for confirming the problem :) Of course airdrop is super fast for iphone/mac-users, but it’s just insane that this is even happening in 2024
sigh just tried on the new m4 mac mini with a iphone 15 pro max with a apple thunderbolt 4 cable, still no luck. I dont think apple is ever going to address the issue.
Ouufhhh - this just gets worse and worse :/ I've sort of just "landed" on my "phone to ssd, ssd to computer"-rutine now, as long as I do it often enough it's a pretty fast way of doing it even though it's two steps instead of one :/
i haven't plugged in my phone to my laptop/computer in a while. air drop has been a game changer for that but i'm guessing it's just a mac thing. also, i love your background!
Hahaha, most people don’t wire up anymore, but yeah, I’m running PC and iPhone so there are some options, but not as fast as airdrop, which makes it useless for 50-150 gigabytes of files :/ Airdrop is about 1 GB per second, which *should* be the speed of the wired transfer as well, which is why this video happened - being able to do 1GB per second to the ssd but not to a computer, and not even to a macbook is just strange :/ The background, yeah, quite the opposite of yours ;) and ever changing as I reorganize stuff, gonna try filming into the corner to the right of the workbench soon, add some more depth, having my workbench at a 45 degree angle to the room, should be interesting cause there is *loads* of crap going on in the background :)
I’m getting the iPhone 16 Pro soon (upgrading from the 12 Pro) and figured I would do some research ahead of time to see if there was any sort of problems or a catch with these transfer speeds. I had a feeling 10 Gbps was too good to be true. Lo and behold :/ I already ordered some cables that are supposed to be capable of transferring at that speed, so I’ll test all of that out when I get my phone. Not sure what to expect yet but definitely not expecting much now that I know this is an issue with the 15 Pro series. So much for “it just works”.
@@zenshadow26055 Firstly: congrats on upgrading, the 15 pro max was great and the 16 will probably be as great (at least) as well :) Secondly: Would love to hear your results from testing when you get it, like I said in the video transferring from the phone to an external SSD (of the correct spec) is as close to max speed as it is reasonable to expect, and the weirdness happens when transferring directly to the pc’s and macbooks I’ve tried - which is *really* strange, but having dealt with windows machines and apple machines for over 30 years doesn’t surprise me ;) Of course: it could be argued that transferring files from the phone to a machine by cable is «old school», especially since airdrop between iphone and mac is really fast, but as a windows user myself that’s not an option really, and realistically windows/iphone-users needing to transfer 100s of gigs on a regular basis through cable might be an edge case with only a small percentage of the total user mass falling in this category :/ But: at least the write speed to an external ssd within spec like the samsung T7 drives are within spec and fast, so there is a workaround for that only takes a slightly longer more fiddly route around the problem, but it would be lovely if it just *worked* indeed :)
@@AndreSjoberg iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB -> Macbook 16" M1 Max, file transfer tops at ~65MB/s but actually hovers about 60MB/s both ways. Abysmal. (Cable is good and System Report says it is connected at 10Gb/s).
@@AndreSjoberg but it seems to be a Finder limitation! Using iMazing is slightly faster, copying from Photos (contrary to my previous testing that transferred files to the VLC app) is even faster (250MB/s) and using Image Capture is 300MB/s and more. Seems like lack of attention on Apple’s part - assuming everybody is just going to use the cloud. After all, it’s just parts of ITunes Crapware gutted and moved to Finder.
@@zviratko Interesting, it is really strange how they’ve managed to botch this up, it is after all only a simple file transfer - when I tested on my friends mac we used finder to just pull the file from the phone to the desktop, which should be a simple enough task, and on my pc the phone shows up as a drive, so I pull the file from the phone into a folder on the pc, just as I do when copying from an external ssd to my pc, and from the external ssd I get close to the promised 1 gigabyte pr second - sometimes I wonder if they have people at apple that actually knows how to program things …
Heh, doesn’t explain why the transfer speed is correct when transferring to the external SSD though :) I do love a good conspiracy theory, don’t get me wrong, but this feels more like sloppy work and incompetence and oversight rather than willfull malice, and I *really* can’t understand how one of the worlds largest companies manages to miss something as basic as this when transfer speed of the new usb c port was a selling point on the main slide :/
@@BRICKSINSILK Absolutely :) And personally I think they might be so out of touch with how some people use their devices that they don’t even bother to find out :/ No money in fixing tiny things, big dreams sells devices, like «we’ll include some AI next year but buy our phone now!!»
@@browser37 My iPhone 15 Pro max, only proper «camera» I have :) Some of the shots of the iphone 15 transferring files was filmed with an iphone X though, my previous/old phone/camera :)
@@browser37 Thanks :) Appreciate that :) It’s all in the lighting really, of course the 15 pro max has a good camera as well, but making it look «better» is all about having a proper keylight and some other stuff :)

I'm trying to transfer a 25 second pro res apple log video (6.25 gigabites) and it's taking over 30 minutes which is honestly mind boggling.

This video needs more exposure! I was wondering the same thing using an MBP M3 Pro with a Thunderbolt 3 cable (non-apple) and noticed slow speeds...

I have this same issue, but I'm using a new M2 Mac Studio and TB4 cable.

is that the official Apple TB4 cable that you're using?
