They had announced that USB-C would be limited to USB2 speeds over a year ago. I don't know when I've ever felt the need to move data to or from my phone any faster over a wire. Unless backups are for some reason backups are wired, non-incremental and you have a 256+ gig drive filled up, in which case it could take just over an hour.

The photos the iPhone 6 took were fine and image stabilized. Why so we need a better camera?

I mean, you're going to put to market a $700 phone and cant upgrade one chip on it to do USB3?

Really!

They have a stockpile of old chips. Better to use them up then scrap them. Especially if no one will notice the difference outside of people who read the tech specs.
