    The SoC lacks the hardware. Even the USB C iPads with A series chips operate at 2.0 speeds. They can only do 5Gbit in host mode, like with an external SSD. Plugged in to a computer they are 2.0.

    I would imagine future chips will have the capability, once the Pro chips trickle down to the base models.

      Yea, well, there you go. Pretty much straight up supports my original claim. If they need to full on change the SoC why in the hell would they fork up to support thunderbolt on iphones.

        Thunderbolt seems excessive for most, but 3.0 would be welcome.
