You might think so, but those ports are still vulnerable. We make a device with USB ports that uses the same, widely available protection devices, and they still have ESD issues. ESD strikes do degrade the protection devices themselves, so while it might last longer, it's still vulnerable. Also, the part about surviving direct lightning strikes is pretty unbelievable: some one got a bit too enthusiastic with their ad copy.
Lightning strikes? I missed that.
I mean, wait, they're saying the USB port will survive a bolt of electricity a foot around?
I'd like to be there for the testing.
