I think the question though is whether all cables can handle the highest speed and the answer to that is also no. Those cheap flimsy cables probably won't, a well made cable from Anker or Apple will, but even then there are all grades and specs of cables from them. And then there is the issue of some cables only carry power and won't work at all.
But you are right in that the limit of the devices is what determines speed.
