It’s very verified by the way, it’s in the Tech Specs. IPhone 15: usb 2 to 480 Mbps (source) IPhone 15 Pro: usb 3 up to 10 Gbps (source)

minus-squaregila@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoNothing 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

USB spec at the time didn’t really allow for extension cables because it added an unknown amount of resistance. The notch was a workaround; they were within spec for the intended device both with and without that cable.
minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoOh interesting! I guess I should stop blaming apple then.
