I can't imagine the horror show that it must be to live every day in a brain that thinks of nothing but how to scheme and scam people all day.
can't you just buy a cheaper USB 3.0 speed cable anyway? or is this a hardware limitation that Apple have put in the port of the phone?
Hardware limitation.
This isn't all that weird. Most USB-C cables sold as "charging cables" are only wired up with 4-pin USB 2.0, because it keeps costs down for a product that wasn't designed for data.
And most people never transfer data do/from their phones with USB anyway, in a world of wireless protocols.
And it's likely at least a usb 3 controller in it just limited to 2.0 speeds. Why even bother
