Who the hell makes a type-c port that only runs at 2.0 speeds?
iPhone 15, Samsung A series phones and tablets, most Motorola devices, most oppo devices, most realme devices, most nothing devices, most xiaome devices, and many more
I find it hilarious that Apple did that with the iPhone 15. Gave the current technology to only the pro models 😂
They are such grimy bastards I swear, probably saved $1 just to make you pic the pro
bet they didn't save anything and it's the same chip just artificially limited
Many cheaper smartphones have 2.0 USB C
My headphones have a USB c port and connects at USB 2 speeds.
You'd be surprised. My mouse only needs 2.0, but uses a C connector for compatibility. It provides an A to C cable with only 2.0 wiring, which is a decision I assume they made to allow the wire to be more flexible as it can be charged during use or used entirely wired.
Same with my keyboard, and I appreciate the compatibility. If it doesn't need anything faster than 2.0 speeds, there's no reason to include more expensive parts.
USB Hi-speed transfer rate are just fine for devices that need to charge regularly but frequently transfer data wirelessly.
USB 2.0 stopped being a relevant whitepaper in late 2001.
