The USB transfer speed claim is misleading to say the least. The iPhone 15 was already capable of up to 10Gbps transfer speed (USB 3.0 support). You could quibble over the fact that the included cable didn't support that (if only the USB-IF could get its shit together), but to claim the hardware doesn't support it is a lie.
Also, non-US iPhones support both physical SIM and eSIM.
TBH cable transfer on android can be pretty shit as well. Like, if you luck out with the MTP implementation on both your phone and your computer, then it Just Works (TM). But in many cases (like mine) it's a buggy mess. I used to have a script that would sync music from my laptop to my phone with rsync, and I would have to run it like three times to actually transfer everything, because each time like 10% of the files would just... not make it across the cable lol. Now I just do it over WIFI. I really wish we could go back to the old days when plugging in your phone would just expose the microsd card as a block storage device.
adb works faster than mtp generally, but is frustrating in its own way.
