I think that should say “USB C port at USB 2.0 speeds”. Apple likes to confuse people by using nonstandard terms. “Lightning” sounds like it is faster than the alternative, but it was actually slow the day it came out.

Full USBC speeds
I think that should says “USB 3.0 speeds”
There is no such thing as “USB C speed”. USB C is just the connector and can support a wide variety of speeds and protocols. Even Thunderbolt 3+ use USB C as the connector.

I apologize again for being this way.
To be fair the speed difference is crucial for the “direct record to external storage” feature. Not sure how often people would use it day to day.
