The IO chip is separate in some of their tablets (apparently there's an old ipad air with a14 that has a separate IO chip to support 3.0), but I think for phones apple typically groups them together.

Kinda sad apple continued using lightning with usb 2.0 just to maintain their proprietary interface and didn't even both upgrading it.

Because they take last years "pro" and shove it as this years regular. Half of the work, double the sales. This time they had to adhere to USB type C because of EU regulation, so they glued connector to outdated IO chip and made it work just barely.
