Even though the older chip runs on the iPads which DO support USB C SS.
- SigmundA 3y agoBecause they have a separate Fresco Logic FL1100SX USB 3 controller that would add cost and take space and power which is not much of an issue on an iPad but is on the phone. The A17 is the first Apple A series SoC with USB3 controller built in while previous chips only had USB2 on the SoC.
- ProfessorLayton 3y agoNot a subject matter expert here, but how does this square with the fact that all iPhone 15 models support native 4k DisplayPort via USB C? Is a fast controller only needed for specific types of data? This reeks of segmentation
- SigmundA 3y agoDisplay port is not USB, the GPU already had secondary out that basically just needed to be routed to the USB-C connector.
