While I'm against forcing a company to use a specific connector (especially Apple where every millimeter counts), I think this was way overdue because of terribly slow USB 2.0 speeds even on "Pro" models that shoot ProRes and 48MP raws.
You realize that nowhere in the “mandate” are any speed requirements and most cheap USB C cords only support USB2 speeds?
Practically, I'd be really really surprised if Apple moved to USB-C but still keep USB 2 speeds.
Moreover, even the cheapest USB-C devices and cables I've seen happily work over USB 3 and I've yet to see anything with USB-C form factor that doesn't support USB 3 even if it's not mandatory.
You mean like on the brand brand new 10th generation usb C iPad?
