      Didn’t some early 2000s Mac USB cables have a bit sticking out and a notch on the computer so they could only be used with Macs?

      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?
