Hell, if you looked at the phone belonging to someone complaining, odds are high that either their phone or their data cable is using 2.0.

I actually think this is a little bit Apple being spiteful for being forced to move to USB-C and honestly I'm a little bit on their side on this one.

Honestly it’s probably not even that. It’s probably a SoC limitation that the base models reuse. On the Pro line they bumped it up to 3.0.
