They really aren't. It's very typical that the next gen 'normal' model is more or less the last gen pro.

- lazide 3y agoThat the last gen pro didn’t have USB-C at this point is ridiculous. That’s part of my point. The other part is that when they went through the design work to put USB-C in (per the legal mandate), they didn’t spend the extra 2c to put a USB3.x or whatever host controller in. Because it would likely have cost them less than 2c to do it. They didn’t just swap a plug and call it good in a rush, they made multiple new models, that they are selling as improvements and they segmented it so that the $800 model has speeds from prior ancient tech. That’s being a dick. On top of the ‘being a dick’ of continuing to use their proprietary connector 5+ generations after it stopped being relevant.
