Not the same motherboard, but the same SoC.

I get the impression that for most people, text also isn’t the preferred format. Many prefer video/audio. Many people I know will put on a podcast in the background while they work, commute, cook, game, etc, leading to more ads per piece of content. They probably also can get more per ad due to targeting when compared to Google ads.

What we do and what we tell our kids we do are often very different

Loopholes also get a bad name because many of them are carved out to target specific people, companies, and demographics in ways that aren’t helpful to society at large.

If it’s just USB 2, wouldn’t that be slower than WiFi in a lot of cases? Maybe not in a crowded area (like offices, which is probably a representative environment for a lot of developers purchasing this), but if you’re in short range of an AP you should be able to get over 500Mbps. Apple also likes to use WiFi direct, such as in airdrop, which can cut the AP out for shorter distance and therefore faster speeds.

The iPhone 15 pro is usb 3 and I believe current gen iPads are either usb 3 or thunderbolt

Those devices aren’t completely open though. The boards are, but the components they include, namely the processor, are not at all open source.

Towards the end of 32 bit’s life, physical address extension allowed operating systems to use more memory, often up to 40 bits worth, but still could still expose a 32 bit address space to user applications.

And yet here you are

Microsoft supports 32 bit processors still with windows 10. They died out because it was becoming clear that 4GB of memory wasn’t going to be enough for applications, and the low margins on budget chips didn’t warrant maintaining 32 bit designs when the 64 bit versions would do and could still run the 32 bit software.
