Hahahha... and a week ago a report said it would be thunderbolt

can't you just buy a cheaper USB 3.0 speed cable anyway? or is this a hardware limitation that Apple have put in the port of the phone?

Hardware limitation.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cables or the ports?

Can't you always buy a better cable?:(and most likely cheaper, given its Apple shit)

Do correct me if I'm wrong

I can't imagine the horror show that it must be to live every day in a brain that thinks of nothing but how to scheme and scam people all day.

And it's likely at least a usb 3 controller in it just limited to 2.0 speeds. Why even bother

[–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This isn't all that weird. Most USB-C cables sold as "charging cables" are only wired up with 4-pin USB 2.0, because it keeps costs down for a product that wasn't designed for data.

And most people never transfer data do/from their phones with USB anyway, in a world of wireless protocols.
