how FAST is the USB-C to Lightening cable?

Hi Lawrence,

thanks....

I guess I don't know enough about it to even ask the right question ; )

so I've been reading about USB cables.

This Apple '-C to Lightning' cable I bought, apparently, can be 5 gbps (whatever that means); or 10gbps; or even less.

So how do I know which it is?

It doesn't say on the box.

I guess I'm just wondering if it's very fast?

but I'm not even sure if that refers to transfer speed? or what....

thanks!

so the apple USB-C itself doesn't possess the speed; it's the computer that determines it; oh! got it.

so if you have a very fast computer, with a cable that's limiting ('slow'); then transfer speed is slow?

and if you have a slow computer, with a non-limiting cable (ie, fast) then the transfer speed is also slow?

and if you have a fast computer, with a cable that isn't limiting then transfer speed could be fast?

is that right?

and so the 'least limiting' cable, is it the USB-C?

or something else?

or maybe I don't have this right?

thanks!

I have an iPhone 11; (and I don't know what a 'thunderbolt 3' is).

but how will the iPhone 11 do with a USB-C vs. regular USB?

and what about a USB-C with a newer Windows 10 computer desktop; fast computer; lots of ram; 2400 mhz, etc.

thanks!

'deggie',

you can choose not to participate any further : )

what's the best cable to buy nowadays? the least limiting one? is it USBC still?

James & Lawrence,

thanks so much!

happy to see also that certain 'levels' don't get to decide when to end a discussion ; )
