    This is irrelevant.

    We’re talking about smartphones here, and most new Android phones support > 3.0.

    Limiting a flagship phone in 2023 to USB 2.0 transfer and charging speeds is a cheapskate move.

      The article only really has facts about the 2.0 cable, anything said about the device is speculated.

      The entire article is literally based on a tweet where someone tested the cable. The title of the article and of this Lemmy post references that.

      Where do you find that information? Do you know of a reviewer that benchmarks the USB transfer rate of Android phones?

      Edit: I found this: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-problem-usb-c-file-transfer-1075286/

      10.8GB / 480 Mbps = 180 seconds, and those phones are all faster, so they must be using USB 3.x. In other words, iPhone 15 will have slower USB data than the Pixel 1.

      IIRC current iphones with lightning connector are still using USB 2.0 and only ipad pro actually has USB 3. I could be wrong though.

      Do you actually connect your phone for anything other than charging? Not trying to poke at you, I’m just honestly surprised this is a big issue for anyone really.
