Yes only the very top model. But get this. They shipped it with a USB 2.0 only cable. You know, just to stick the knife in a little bit anyway. Those guys sure know how to make a joke.
Comment on $300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device

The very top model is the Pro Max. Pro is the second top model, by price. But yeah…
As a side note, the cable is actually really nice if usb 2 is fine. It’s super flexible and braided, all of my other braided cables are much more stiff. I would buy a longer one if they made one.

After the EU forced them to adopt USB C

It’s not about USB C but about the USB version. Only their Pro models have USB 3 but the other ones have USB 2.

The reason they have USB2 is because they are using the same motherboard as previous models. They just soldered the USB-c port to where their lightning port used to be.
Meaning their lightning port was about as fast as USB2.

Not the same motherboard, but the same SoC.

USB 3 wasn’t an option whilst they were sticking with lightning, and if the EU hadn’t forced them they happily would’ve continued with such.
The reason the new non-pro iPhones use USB 2 is because they still use the old chip which previously used lightning, and as such never had a reason to support USB 3.
