You're at least partially correct since they require a MFI approved cable to reach USB 3 speeds. Otherwise you're limited to USB 2 speeds.

- chx 3y agoAny source to this? Because I think Alex Agius Saliba will have an unkind word to Apple if they try to pull that shit.

(there were a number of articles around this time which are now buried by Google et.al.) However, it does look like Apple may have walked this back post-rumor. I genuinely hope they did.

- piperswe 3y agoSource? I've heard rumors but I don't think they mentioned MFi at all in this event.
- falcolas 3y agoSee sibling comment.
- DRW_ 3y agoI can't find any reference to this on Apple's website. They simply they a USB3 cable is required to get USB3 speeds, which I assume they don't ship in the box.
