What is high-speed USB suppose to be? No speed just for charging?
From what I recall high-speed USB was USB 2.0, mostly that is used today for stuff like mice or keyboards where speed isn't really all that relevant.
High-speed is actually low-speed, got it
Well, USB 2.0 did 480 MBit/s IIRC compared to USB 1.0 1.5 MBit/s and 1.1 12 MBit/s
Jeez they still fell short there. Why can't they just go through the whole thing mark every other speed.
Ibf it was high-speed at the time, we've just surprised it since... Super-duper speed.
Yeah, 480 Mbit/s really felt lightning fast at the time, especially considering where we came from with USB 1.0.
High Definition video is still 720p
It's USB2, so either for charging or simpler devices that don't need USB3 (Like keyboards).
Edit: Federation issue? I swear there wasn't an existing reply when I responded.
Thanks!
