USB 2, 3 and 4 are not direct new versions depracating previous ones. Those are tiers, versions are reprecented after the point, like 3.1 is directly better than 3.0 .
USB 2 is not something that shouldn’t be used because USB 3 exists. It is just simpler, just four pins, two for power and two for data, meanwhile USB 4 requires much more complex stuff. Just like new Intel i7 processor does not invalidate new Intel i3.
Still on a high-end phone 2.0 is bad, like putting i3 on high-end laptop.

What is bad, that is asking such prices for USB 2, that’s what I’ve meant, it’s like selling another 8gb of ram for 500$

The pro models aren’t usb 2, just the normal models, as those are using the same processor as last gen. The usb controller is in the processor and last gen they were using lightning (which was usb 2.0).
