USB 3.0 Hub showing up as USB 2.0

I was wondering how MacOS handles USB-C hubs. I bought an Anker PowerXpand 7-in-2 hub but in system report it is showing up as a USB 2.0 hub.


Wasn't sure if this is an Anker issue or if it is the way that MacOS handles USB hubs.

Some (many, all?) hubs will revert to USB 2 if a USB 2 device is plugged in first.

The iPhone might be USB 2.


What appears of you only have a USB 3 device connected.
