Apple finally put USB-C in the new iPhone, but it's inexplicably limited to 23-year-old USB 2.0 speeds

Apple’s not the only one with soldered on components.

Yeah I have a Thinkpad Carbon X1. It has soldered on RAM.

ugh... please don't support companies that do this. I'd never purchase a pc laptop that didn't allow ram or ssd upgrades. insanity! I SAY!

the dumbing down and enshittification will only proceed if people buy their products.

dunno why you're downvoted, you're completely correct.

BUT

Apple is the only one charging eye-watering prices for the privilege. Yeah, there is that lol.

Apple blazed the trail though, really pushed the idea that saving a millimeter by going to glued/soldered on components is a good idea

Apple wasn’t the first to solder components onto the motherboard.
