Comment on Apple 15 relegated to USB 2.0 unless you buy the Pro
vale@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoThat has nothing to do with whether it’s USB 2.0 or 3.0 because it’s backwards compatible. What phone do you have?

How is it backwards compatible with fast charging if it only fast charges in 3.0 ports but not 2.0 ports? It will work in 2.0 sure, but it doesn’t fast charge over it. I have a LG Thinq V6.

USB Power Delivery (fast charge) doesn’t require USB 3.0 speeds, just USB-C connectors.

That phone isnt 6 years old, it was released in 2020. It wasnt $350 either but $800. Weird points youre trying to make…

after a little time most of these handsets see deep discounts and special pricing from carriers

I paid $350 for it, for certain. I thought I got it in 2018 but it seems I’m just misremembering.

Bro, you don’t really know anything about USB
The port being USB-C has nothing to do with USB 3.0
The port supporting fast charging has nothing to do with it being USB 3.0
Unless you have transferred data over the wire and seen USB 3 speeds, you can’t claim it to be USB 3 based on circumstances alone.
On the other hand, I can totally imagine that 99% people never transfer any data over the wire anymore. Airdrop is fast and convenient if you have a Mac and other solutions exist if you don’t. You can easily get 10 MBps+ transfer rates over Wi-Fi and that works fine for most people, if they ever need to transfer data over to a PC anyway. So I’m guessing Apple just took what majority would accept and went with it, just like any other company does these days.
