Apple switched iPods, and by that decision later iPhones and iPads, to USB [after I think the 3rd generation iPods] because the FW controller in the device was too thick for their desires to make smaller/thinner devices, and the sheer speed and peer-to-peer qualities of FW were not necessary for users of iPods. You do a large transfer maybe once or twice, not all the time like a FW hard drive or something. Later, it is just a 20-100MB transfer, no problem for USB.
