I'm genuinely a rocket scientist and it's caught me out... however I happen to be a spontaneous and forgetful rocket scientist who is bad at planning for myself. Even though one of my main roles for my day job client is project planning lol... I'm weird
A good few years down the line... I'd guess 5... it'll be normal... these DSLRs and other things will use WiFi or NFC or something similar to communicate data and will happilly communicate wirelessly... but in the interim... when you forget something dum... it's annoying. A number of them already have the tech ready for that type of data exhchange and have used it for years too.
I like to argue Apple trying to cash in on licensing, because I'm a cynical ass
They claim they're pushing the bar forward to get accessory and equipment manufacturers to catch up and follow them. Despite my annoyances... I will grudgingly admit, that Apple, being the large provider that it is... going down this route, does force their hand to catch up as they have to in order to please their client and work with the content creation equipment.
My annoyance is on Apple... but, annoyingly, the better way forward is to push the other manufacturers to catch up with Apple.
Can I respect them for it and be annoyed at it at the same time?
