This is true. I’m a bit biased as that is what I would do. I’d say most users will not even notice. I think most of us here on lemmy are tech heads though and we would be the ones who do connect our phones to PC.
Honestly I only recently realized I don’t have a cable supporting USB Super Speed, though I detailed that in a different comment and I don’t want to repeat my self.
If I understand how USB Super Speed (ie USB 3.0+) works correctly, it is trivial to limit a USB C port to USB 2.0 modes, as it uses extra connections, which, I think, means you can just not connect them and treat the port like its a USB 1.x/2.x port. Not 100% sure tho
You’re entirelly correct - if only the D+ and D-data lines (plus VCC and GND) are connected (and USB-C is meant to work no matter which way you plug it so there are one of each on each side) then it will just behave as USB 2.0
Unless it’s limited by hardware this will be a main cause for jailbreaking your iPhone.
What makes you say that? 90% of the users don’t even connect their iPhone to a pc anymore.
