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.
