Lightning only ever supported USB 2.0. Theoretically, the free serial pins could’ve been used for the SuperSpeed 3.0 pins, but Apple never did.

They supported superspeed for the lightning iPad pros by doubling the number of pins (top and bottom rows)
Only the lightning to usb3 camera adapter used them
I think it's also notable that the iPad Pro never supported usb 3 client either. The iPad Pro had a separate USB3 host controller, and so only supported that camera adapter. There was never a USB-A (or C) 3.0 to Lightning cable.
I stand corrected.
