The contextual parent asked, in response to a comment lamenting the they don't want to pay for the Pro iPhone model to get high USB speeds, why you need high speed USB-C outside of some niche cases related to video (where you are already bound to want the Pro model for the better camera). The response was that the main benefit (of high speed USB-C) is that you can standardize on USB-C cables.
But it is not clear why high speed USB-C cables are not compatible with the iPhone 15, which has USB-C but does not support high USB speeds. If it were, then the purported main benefit would also be found on that device, leaving the question to be unanswered and the attempt at a response nonsensical.
