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?

> Okay…you’re right, the only reason I don’t have a 128 core epyc cpu in my iPad is market segmentation! Darn markets.

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.
