      I do not see why apple, using usb type C in iphones, is a one year long news. It is just a usb c and most probably, a crippled one, because apple... There are WAY more intresting things that happened this year, and was barerly spoken off if ever...here.

I'd expect the Pro models to have up to 40gb/s USB4, but I'd be surprised if Apple coughed up the dough to Intel to pay to call it Thunderbolt.

                                        Old phone like note 3 or even some new flagship use that 5GBps bandwidth, but some go for more, Rog phone 2 had 10gbps and Display port 1.4.

                                        Problem is hard to know if phone use usb 3 gen 1x1, gen 2 or gen 2x2 usual they dont mention that, you had to find it yourself.
