    WiFi 6… okay. The radios are expensive, I get it.

    USB 2.0 though? Not even 3?

    That is just unacceptable. It is such a tremendous pain on base iPhones too, and why? To save a nickel?

      Its literally nickels youre saving. I had it on the first flagship phone i owned and i never understood it. Its a phone that had a much faster cpu and bit slower gpu than my laptop at the time and i cant even have wired video when its just like 20 traces to an soc that already has the pins for it from a port that already has all the contactors cause literally nobody sells high end water resisant usb c ports that dont support at least 3.1 10gbps
