> The iPhone 15 Pro sports Apple's new A17 Pro APU, complete with a new on-die USB controller block. However, the vanilla iPhone 15 makes do with the last-gen A16 Bionic chip, which lacks that new USB controller and only has the original Lightning controller onboard.
What did the iPads do before A17? Did they also have this extra controller? I thought at least the Pro models already had faster speeds, so there must have been a solution already.
- masklinn 3y agoApparently they have an additional external controller. The "base" iPad only has USB2 speeds after switching to USB-C. Apparently the 6th gen mini also only has USB2 when in device mode (it has 5Gb in host mode).
