Op specifically called out “Max”. Most people would find that technically incorrect. But go ahead and draw lines in the sand wherever you wish if it makes you feel like you’re winning an argument.

I gave the max as an example. I did not say it was the only model that could get USB 3 speeds so you are "technically incorrect" and just want to win the argument.

The two models combined account for half of all iPhone sales. And nobody refers to them as anything but iPhones.

It is not just technically wrong to say “the iPhone doesn’t support a thing” when it the statement only applies to a fraction of the product line and actual user experience.

You seem confused. I never said “the iPhone doesn’t support a thing”.
