It almost certainly won't. 100W cables should be assumed to be USB2.0 until stated otherwise, for USB-C data connections you'd probably want something with at least the USB 3.1 spec though ideally thunderbolt 3 and above.
Because virtually no charging applications need data.
Because 10gbps+ cables are more expensive to make.
They exist, you just have to be willing to spend more for them. You'd rather these less expensive options didn't exist and you & everyone else had to pay $30 for a USB 3.0+ data cable just to charge? No thanks.
It's a very welcome addition, and a strong reason to finally upgrade for many that have been holding onto older iPhones for 3-5+ years (alongside everything else to be gained). One cable to rule them all, finally (nearly) completing Apple's transition to USB-C. They're on the USB IF (implementers forum), guys... Sure money was a motivating factor, but it also didn't hurt to wait a little longer until USB-C chargers were ubiquitous to finally switch either.. especially as some manufacturers are no longer including wall chargers with their phones anymore.
To others in this thread - trash iPhones all you want, but the typical Android phone manufacturer stops providing software/security updates for their phones after 2 years - that's less than HALF of how long iPhones usually receive updates (~5 years). They're still bringing major updates to their phones from 2018.
Do you mean the iOS updates that slow devices to a snail?
iPhone Pro shoulda have usbc when iPad Pro got release. Now theres lighting to usbc adapters to avoid trashing lighting cables
For everyone claiming that this is a USB 2.0 cable, at the bottom of the product page, in the Product information section, it lists a (presumably maximum) Data Transfer Rate of 5 Gigabits Per Second. If that's accurate, that would make this cable USB 3.1 GEN 1 or USB 3.2 GEN 1x1:
USB 2.0 supports up to 480 Mbps
USB 3.0 supports up to 4.8 Gbps
USB 3.1 GEN1 | USB 3.2 GEN1x1 supports up to 5 Gbps
USB 3.1 GEN2 | USB 3.2 GEN1x2 | USB 3.2 GEN 2x1 supports up to 10 Gbps
At 1.50 fee per MFi certified cable and a billion devices, that sounds like a logical reason.
They don't care if you buy their cable, 1.50 per certified is money in the bank to own a standard. Just ask Qualcomm, broadcom, or anyone else who owns IP.
If MFi made cables more expensive, why are usb c cables the same price? I've been looking at them now to replace the 40 lightning cables I have around the house and cars. Pro-Consumer!
I bought my Ipad Pro in 2018. Basically a giant iPhone, and even it has USB C. I know why they waited (their proprietary lightning connection and licensing for them being in a lot of revenue), but it's still kind of surprising that it took so long.
