    Leave it to Apple to release a new iPhone with intentionally outdated, hamstrung technology just to upsell more expensive models.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

      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.
