So you have AirPods and no other Apple devices? And people hoping that Apple’s move to USB C will mean USB3 speeds need to look no further than the latest low end iPad that has USB C. But transfers data at USB 2 speeds. The same happened on many low end to midrange Android phones.

  No, I've also got a MacBook. And in my life, this supposed flaw in USB-C just doesn't exist. I have yet to experience a USB-C cable that doesn't do what I expect it to. But perhaps that is because I don't have unreasonable expectations, like the shape of the hole I plug a wire into making data transfer speeds faster

    Video over USB C is a standard and supported by Macs and high end iPads.

  On a low end iPad very few people have a need for any devices to connect to it via usb, even fewer than would benefit from usb3 speeds.

    You mean an A14 iPad? That’s not exactly slow by any means and the newest A15s that come in the phones are not appreciably faster.

      I didn't say it was slow. I said on low end iPads people dont typically have a need to connect things to its USB, certainly nothing that would have any benefit from USB 3.

        A low end iPad with an A14 is hardware wise more capable and definitely more responsive than many low end consumer PCs that are sold today. For instance it is more than capable of editing music and video that you may want to transfer to or from a computer or an external hard drive.

  > And people hoping that Apple’s move to USB C will mean USB3 speeds... than the latest low end iPad Who is expecting anything out of the low end iPad for anything other than taking notes or watching videos? The new high-end iPads are thunderbolt and USB4. But more importantly... so? What does this have to do with charging AirPods? Basically no cables that are USB-C and more than 0.5 meters support charging AND video/high-speed. Unfortunately, I think people just have to accept that there's "data cables" and "PD cables" and "junk short cheap cables that don't do anything". You can spend like $150 buying multi-meter thunderbolt/USB-IF cables that support PD + full data and full video, or just buy two cables.
