Okay…you’re right, the only reason I don’t have a 138 core epyc cpu in my iPad is market segmentation! Darn markets.
Yes. Per Apple:
> More Innovative Technologies Packed into M1
> An Apple-designed Thunderbolt controller with support for USB 4, transfer speeds up to 40Gbps, and compatibility with more peripherals than ever.
> you’d need a teardown.
You mean like the dozens of teardowns of M1 macs when it was released, which only found retimers on the motherboard but no external controller?

I see you are wilfully obtuse and entirely unserious. I'm sorry I bothered.
Thanks for the info!

No, you are being an asshole and a bit of idiot. I said it might be heat related - so there is a reason beyond market segmentation that apple does not include thunderbolt in the iPad air. I don't know why I am bothering either, but here we are.

Scroll to the "chip" section, and straight from the horse's mouth they both use a 4+4 / 8 M1, I rather doubt Apple has a variant of that chip which removes ip blocks (AFAIK the only variant is the 4+4 / 7 chip still available on the super low end MBA).
