Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report
(www.extremetech.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I don't think your criticism here is fair. I see what the article is conveying in this sentence: this is a decision that makes no sense (it probably costs more to artificially limit speeds in this way) but it is also not unexpected that Apple would make this kind of decision. I think it's a well written turn of phrase.
Yeah I don't get it, that's not an uncommon phrase. I use variations of it all the time.
