This is irrelevant.
We’re talking about smartphones here, and most new Android phones support > 3.0.

The article only really has facts about the 2.0 cable, anything said about the device is speculated.

But boy does it generate attention for Apple.

Where do you find that information? Do you know of a reviewer that benchmarks the USB transfer rate of Android phones?
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year ago
IIRC current iphones with lightning connector are still using USB 2.0 and only ipad pro actually has USB 3. I could be wrong though.
jpeps@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Do you actually connect your phone for anything other than charging? Not trying to poke at you, I’m just honestly surprised this is a big issue for anyone really.
Rootiest@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Sure but most USB-C Android devices can at least manage USB 3.0 speeds
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There’s a difference between connector and protocol version. But they are all backwards compatible.

Which is fine, I have a full speed USBC cable and it’s a thicc boi that I certainly wouldn’t want to shove in my pocket all the time and the 2.0 speed ones still charge my laptop even. But Apple is limiting the PORT, not the cable, which isn’t cool.

Because they are probably using the same controller, just rewired to usbc, there are videos of this modification being done aftermarket.

They can’t limit the cables, they don’t even come with the phone anymore
