dude usb 3.0 is 15 years old by now, and they're a trillion dollar company. They'll manage, this is 100% by choice

On a thousand dollar phone

One could argue that you don't become a trillion dollar company by leaving money on the table.

One could argue, greed is a subset of malice, and spite isn't mutually exclusive with any of it.

Public companies aren't really driven by spite. At least not for its own sake.

Yes, the choice being the respective SoCs not needing 3.0 support because they were intended to be used with lightning connectors.

I mean Pixel 6 still didnt have 3.0 support, so the 15 year old argument doesnt hold too much ground either.

Pixel 6 has 3.1 gen 1 (3.0) and so did the Pixel 1

The first phone with USB 3.0 appears to be from 2013.

Sure, I’m willing to eat my words on that one, for some reason my memory said 6a was 2.0
