      I’d have to see a teardown, but I’d imagine with all the extra space in the iPads, they could stick a separate controller board in there. Phones are a bit harder to do that with, especially if it’s a last minute change.

        Did you even read my comment?

        Several NON-M1 iPads have USB 3.1. Even the iPad mini on the A15 supports usb 3.1.

          Sorry I missed the “non” part. In that case either they’re using a different die which is definitely possible seeing as they’re clocked lower than the iphone counterparts or they’re utilising an external USB controller.
