Yes, even "dumb" phones could share files with computers back then. Apple users have no idea how much harm their masters have done to society.


Is this really a problem with Apple?

Phones other than iPhones can still share files with each other and with computers using Bluetooth. But people instead use apps like WhatsApp or e-mail for file transfers, even in places where iPhone's market penetration is near zero.


And you could tether, though it was complicated. And slow (1xRTT)


I still do this regularly because bluetooth uses less energy both for the laptop and for the phone, than wi-fi.
