Inb4 apple places a chip in the cable that only handshakes with apple devices?

It's the ports, they force USB2.0 speeds (same as lightning) unless you get the Pro (this is unverified)

Wait so if it's not apple's cable you're throttled to usb 2.0 speeds?

Nothing to do with the cable, the port on the device is a USB-C port that is limited to USB2.0 speeds. Whereas the iPhone Pro has one that can do USB3.0 speeds. This seems to have been recently verified by the tech specs on Apple website btw
