Ah, so now that a$$le is interested, USB works very fast... Anyway no thank you, I don't want to move into your garden.
Thanks for coming to this Apple-focused forum specifically to tell us that.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to find an Android forum where I can tell everyone how much I do not wish to use an Android phone.

I just recently needed some transfer capabilities....to go the other way. Enjoying the Galaxy S25 I bought.

I may come back one day when iOS is working better and there is a better assistant on board.

Can’t wait for the EU to summarily declare this app illegal or require that transfer speeds be the same in both directions.
