Never said they carefully planned out usb c. All I said was that changing the physical port is the cheapest and most cost effective way of doing it. No need to change the entire module.

It’s all right there. So no idea man

I acknowledged that you weren't the person making the initial claim right at the beginning of my comment, but the flow of the discussion here is:

A) Initial claim: USB-C was coming anyway because it takes years to integrate this stuff into new devices

B) Counter-argument: If it took them years to integrate this port into the device then why does it appear to be slapped together with shit data speed?

C) Your counter counter-argument: it appears slapped together because it's a simple one line change in the production process and is very simple

A and C can't be true because they're diametrically opposed. If B and C are true then A is false.
