it's an identity. you might be surprised to see how often the apple logo is used on random things in countries where copyright doesn't exist. like it's a symbol of something really important.

but I think the USB 2.0 thing is completely normal and this is a misleading headline

edit: oh look im being le downvoteddit

How is USB 2.0 normal in a phone that costs upwards of $800?

I mean, it has been normal for apple phones. Lightning cables only have USB 2.0 transfer speeds as it currently stands. They've used it from iPhone 5 up to iPhone 14, including the pro and max versions. Only the iPad pros have the potential for USB 3.0 speeds. Those are the only ones with 16 pin connectors instead of the standard 8 pins in all other lightning connectors

Well, then there has never been a better time to upgrade to USB 3/4 than now.
