    Data Speed of USB-C to Lightning Cable

    Hi All, Does the USB-C to Lightning Cable transfer data faster than the classic USB Lightning Cable? Because of fast charge, I'm assuming the iPhone X supports the part of the USB 3.0 spec, but does it support the increased bandwidth that it offers? Thanks All, Chris
