But it's also been around for at least a year. And upcoming pcie 5 SSDs will up that to 10-14GBps.

I'm saying Apple might have wanted to emphasise their more standout achievements. Such as on the CPU front, where they're likely to be well ahead for a year - competition won't catch up until AMD starts shipping 5nm Zen4 CPUs in Q3/Q4 2022.

Apple has a well over 5 year advantage when compared to their competition.

That is very difficult to believe, short of sabotage.
