There is zero reason to restrict transfer speeds to a USB 2.0 level in today's age.

This is Apple once again not respecting their customer.

Yes, a bunch of Android phones are USB 3.0 or greater.

Android flagships from the last 6 years or so have USB 3.0.

My understanding is that they would need to redesign the SOC since USB3 wasn't part of the standard A series chips. The few iPad Pro's that have USB3 have an external controller.

Why would only two of the four iphone 15 models support the higher speed then? Are they putting in 2 different chips for the same model? I think all of them are using the A17
