Ok .thats apparently a controversial opinion but....why does that matter. Usb2.0 is still fairly fast connection ,i doubt it will impact anyone, unless someone dumps a lot of data on iphones for....some reason,honestly i am not sure in what scenraio you would move a lot of data very often from phone to pc or reversed. Its not a headphone jack scenario where they took a capability from a phone. You still can send data through cable.it will just take a minute instead of 10 s.

I can't imagine the horror show that it must be to live every day in a brain that thinks of nothing but how to scheme and scam people all day.

And it's likely at least a usb 3 controller in it just limited to 2.0 speeds. Why even bother

can't you just buy a cheaper USB 3.0 speed cable anyway? or is this a hardware limitation that Apple have put in the port of the phone?

Tbh I doubt users would notice. If you have a USB cable near you, check if the USB A plug has a blue core, or you can count how many connections there are inside. If its not blue and has four connection (or five in the case of mini / micro versions), its USB 1.x/2.x. USB 3.0+ should be blue and has nine connections (except for USB C, which has 24). USB 1.x/2.x cables seem to be everywhere, at least where I live. And yes I'm saying 1.x/2.x because both use the same connectors and cables, with additions in 1.1 and 2.0 revised.

Cables or the ports?

Can't you always buy a better cable?:(and most likely cheaper, given its Apple shit)

Do correct me if I'm wrong
