    nothing about using a USB-C cable inherently means it has to support USB3.

    framing it as “limits it to USB 3 Speeds” is misleading. iPhone has only ever supported USB 2, all they’re doing here is continuing to not upgrade to USB 3. the meeting where somebody proposed it went like this:

    hey, should we put a USB 3 chip in the new iPhone?
    nah, let’s just keep using the same one as the last generation

      Why pay for a better component when the sheep will gladly pay inflated prices for the same old crap?

        How many people do you honestly think transfer data by cable? I haven’t done it in years, and I have friends with iphones that don’t even own a computer!

          USB 3 is significantly faster than wifi so I frequently use it for larger file transfers. But I guess with iphone’s crippled filesystem you would never have reason to transfer anything.
