> One of the two USB-C ports is limited to USB 2.0 speeds of just 480 Mb/s

This is one of the things I never really expected Apple to do, since they've somehow managed to avoid the confusing black/blue colouring of USB-A ports, giving every laptop they've ever produced since 2012 USB 3.0 ports.

Seems like they're buying into hardware enshittification too (macOS and iOS 26 being software monstrosities with liquid glAss).
