The lightning phones could only use 2.0 speeds. There is no change to the hardware except for the form factor of the connector.

And that is the problem. If Apple was truly selling top end hardware they should have used a USB-3 or even a Thunderbolt 4 port and possibly a truly fast charging experience, but again, they don’t want their customers to use their usb-c ports for anything but charging because that would lower the value of iCloud and they like that subscription money now.

Fast charging and data transfer are two different things. The iPhone must comply with USB PD at least 100W.
