is the iport not a continuity tester? one end of the usbc in one port, the other end to the other port, and see if there's electrical continuity and perhaps to check supported protocols?

Yeah this, plug one cable into both ports in the top. Screen will show which pins are connected to each other. may also do usb pd testing to make sure the cable isn't going to melt when you send 100w throw it lol.

The model number of the clear shot adapter, A2244 is actually a valid production model code for 20W adapters sold in mainland China so that explains the lacking of the holes on the pins lol

I think the iPort is groundbreaking, it is the first ever Apple device with micro USB, to be powered by batteries and to have an e ink display!

The iBeacon was micro USB too, and it’s older. Super strange though, I’m guessing it’s a two arms of the same body thing, maybe the disconnected team that makes that kind of equipment decided that lightning wasn’t as easy to implement.

Definitely keep all of the prototypes as original as possible. The patina on them shows that they were actually used

I feel like the iPort you are meant to connect the same USB C cable to both ports. And it will tell you if there is any broken/shorted or otherwise issues between the connections. Its prob also capable of reading the emarker chip and stating what its rated for. (PD wattage, if its USB 2/ USB 3, thunderbolt etc) Also with the 20w chargers. Flat blades with no holes are common in china. And infact Apple's own 'World travel kit' actually comes with a second flat bladed head with no holes that mentions china in addition to the normal one with holes that says North America and Japan
