"This suggests that multiple models within the iPhone 15 series will support Thunderbolt/USB4's high-speed 40Gbps data transmission,"

What are people doing on their iPhones that would benefit from 40Gbps data transmission bandwidth?

Transferring 4K videos taken using iPhones to their Macs?

What about the majority of iPhone users who could care less about transferring 4K videos and the like. For us, this update is minimal.

"We expect the consequences to be significant," said de Graaf at the time. "If you have an iPhone, you should be able to download apps not just from the App Store but from other app stores or from the internet."

The consequences of turning iOS into Windows will be significant but not in the manner that they like to promote to the public. 

How about a better analogy; turning iOS into macOS.
Because that would be completely crazy! 😉

It would be crazy. The major desktop operating systems were designed decades ago, before the Internet was in every home, before the mass proliferation of viruses and spam, before people were doing everything from banking to shopping to storing all their photos and correspondence on their computers. All the security of modern desktop operating systems has been bolted on to a 40-year-old foundation. If macOS was designed entirely from the ground up starting today, as a blank slate, it would be very different than it is today. I would love to be able to get all my software for my Mac from the App Store like I do on my iPhone and iPad. The only reason that's not going to happen is simply because macOS is old.
