USB-C is the physical form. Does it actually dictate USB3?

Only the Pixel 3a. Even the Pixel 1 supported USB3.0 speeds…

Speak for yourself, there are still many who refuse to use subscription services for music and still store it on their phones

Lol, I’m sorry but this is just you thinking everyone is like you. Millions of people use their phones very differently.

Is what your comment did.

The connector is a usb-c connector. That is not the standard, just the connector type friend

He’s right though?

USB-C does NOT in any way specify capabilities or transfer specifications. It only specifies the form factor of the plug.

The plug can be used for any number of things from USB2.0 or ThunderBolt4, to power transfer, hells, even things like analog audio can use the plug.

Could you elaborate? Because I’m like… 90% you’re wrong. Oc is correct. The “c” in type c referred to the connector. Just like micro-b mini-b usb A,etc. USB 3 is the speed standard. As well as 3.1 (or 3.2 gen 1 it’s called now or some other silliness), 3.2 gen 2, etc.

There are usb C cables that can do video, audio, some that have thunderbolt speeds. There are also usb c cables that only support usb 2.0. So if you can elaborate on why you believe otherwise, id appreciate it. the usb consortium has ridiculous conventions and I’m no hardware specialist. My knowledge on these is from USB consortiums training when I was a salesman.

This is absolutely wrong. The spec mandates that USB-C ports provides at least USB 3.1 support. Also USB-C is mandated for USB 3.1.

So to be compliant every USB-C port must support USB 3.1 at least. And you cannot support USB 3.1 with anything other than a USB-C port.

Wtf are you talking about? The spec has a section specifically for wiring a USB 2.0 cable. Apple is one of the companies who wrote the USB spec and I’d find it pretty hard to believe they’d go against their own spec.
