- 39. Hi Ewan I'm writing to you today because I believe you'll be interested in a story that we've been working on. As you know, the iPhone 15 is expected to be released later this year. However, there are rumours that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will continue to use USB 2 speeds, while the iPhone 15 Pro will use USB 3 speeds. We've created a USB speed calculator that allows us to compare the data transfer speeds of different USB devices. We used this calculator to calculate how much slower the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus compared to the iPhone 15 Pro. On average, across different files sizes and types, we've calculated the 15 and Plus will be over 90% slower. We believe that this story would be of interest to your readers, as it highlights the potential performance differences between the three models of the iPhone 15. We're offering this story to select tech journalists for a limited time. If you're interested in featuring this story in your publication, please let me know and I'll send you a full press release and any additional details. In the meantime, I've attached a link to our USB speed calculator so that you can check it out: https://www.usbmakers.com/usb-speed-calculator/ Thank you
- 40. Hi Ewan I hope you're well. Did you get a chance to review the exclusive pitch I sent across last week? As I mentioned, we're offering this as an exclusive, so if you could let me know your thoughts as soon as you can that'd be fantastic! Thanks
