Inb4 apple places a chip in the cable that only handshakes with apple devices?

It's the ports, they force USB2.0 speeds (same as lightning) unless you get the Pro (this is unverified)

Wait so if it's not apple's cable you're throttled to usb 2.0 speeds?

[–] gila@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Nothing to do with the cable, the port on the device is a USB-C port that is limited to USB2.0 speeds. Whereas the iPhone Pro has one that can do USB3.0 speeds. This seems to have been recently verified by the tech specs on Apple website btw

No, only the iPhone 15 pro has usb3. iPhone 15 is usb2. They have it listed that way on their site.

The bad SOC is the limit.

Didn't some early 2000s Mac USB cables have a bit sticking out and a notch on the computer so they could only be used with Macs?

The EU said they would ban Apple out of EU if they even attempt.
