Apple iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max

They indicated in the pitch for the Pro that they added logic to the new CPU to drive USB 3 at 10gbps. The non-Pro is using last year's CPU, so while yes I guess that means they did "cheap out", I imagine the cost to include 3.0 on the non-Pro is pretty high and most people don't care.

This. Consider the market. Samsung also doesn't add its newly-engineered, top-of-the-line solutions to its lower-end new models.

Almost all the people on this forum are in the target market for the Pro. The standard iPhone is not built for us, nor will most of its users have a problem with 480Mbps-over-wire transfer speeds.

Every S23 model uses the same SoC.

And they are all not competitive with Apple Silicon. What's your point?

Except iPads using older SoCs handle faster USB C speeds just fine.

iPad models which support USB 3 don't use the same chip as iPhones
