    Or because the base iPhone 15 uses last year’s Pro chip which didn’t have a USB3 controller.

      A Raspberry Pi from years ago has USB 3.1. Restricting the latest iPhone is just laughable.

        And probably have a separate controller? I’m not very technical at all but I’d assume it’s much easier to fit a separate one on a large surface like the iPad has

        Edit: google confirms the iPads have a separate USB3 controller

        I had a very quick check and I think iPads use an external chip for USB 3 - and there may just not have been space on the iPhone’s logic board for that. I think you’d have to judge it next year - since the base models seem to be using last year’s pro chips - if the base model doesn’t support 3.1 speeds then, something fishy is happening

        Apple does a lot of BS stuff, but are you trying to claim the controller in iPads and iPhones is the same, or comparable because of age? Because that’s like claiming the screens are the same, or comparable.
