Comment on $300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device

  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.
