Leave it to Apple to release a new iPhone with intentionally outdated, hamstrung technology just to upsell more expensive models.

My 2013 Samsung had usb 3, used a special micro USB 3 cable but still.

And Samsung quickly switched back to USB 2 shortly after because nobody really cared and it created other problems.

All phone models for the last many years from them have USB 3.

That’s mainly because microusb 3.0 was a failed tech, the cable was just so unwieldy and huge. Focus of S6 was on design so a large chunky port would be very difficult to keep.

The base model hardware is usually the chips, boards and controllers from last year’s pro phones. If that trend continues, next year’s base models will be on the new IO.

It’s shocking that they’re so openly scamming their customers. Base models comes with last’s year chip and features. Has a gimped USB 2.0 port for maybe a 5$ difference. It’s a total insult.
