Comment on iPhone 15's USB-C Port Remains Limited to Lightning Speeds

I just upgraded to a 13 from my XR with a dying battery, and while I’m glad overall that Apple has adopted USB-C, I’m glad it started at the 15 so I don’t have to buy a bunch of new cables and bricks. I have 5 cables- 1 in the house as a data cable, 2 in the house as charge cables, 1 in the car and 1 at work. Some of them are longer than others. I don’t want to have to repurchase all of that.

But if you already are part of the USB-C ecosystem, absolutely. That said- this speed limiting thing is bullshit.

Just in case: it’s not artificial limiting, it’s the max 2.0 speed

  To be fair, usb3 has been around since 2008. Surely apple could have afforded to pay 3 more cents per phone to support that.

    Yes, I’m just saying that it’s not really an artificial limitation just corporate greed
