And the Apple branded super speed cable can be sold for more profit. Win!

Edit: I did some searching and found all the major providers send the phone with a USB2 cable, so taking a punt at Apple for this actually is unfair.

Or include a cheaper cable since 95% of the users will never transfer data over usb?

Probably closer to 99%. It’s kind of dumb I guess (without knowing the port specs, it’s impossible to form an opinion.) What are these people up in arms about?

I'm guessing the people most up in arms about this don't even use iOS.
