It is rumored that Apple will abandon Lightning for the first time in the iPhone 15 series and switch to USB-C, sharing the same interface with Android, Mac, and iPad. Users will be able to use one line for multiple purposes without having to carry extra charging cables for the iPhone. Comprehensive foreign information, USB-C is not only convenient, Apple will also increase the “speed upgrade” of two major specifications.
First, the “ChargerLAB” website broke the news that there is a Retimer chip hidden in the USB-C part of the iPhone 15, which is considered to be a key part supporting the Thunderbolt specification, which can bring 40Gbps high-speed transmission, which will be far better than the current 480 Mbps of Lightning. It is expected to improve the pain point of slow video transmission after shooting video on iPhone.
Foreign media 9to5Mac further broke the news that Apple will also increase the charging speed through USB-C. It will look at 35W from the 20W of the iPhone 14 series, allowing Apple to finally catch up with the Android lineup, including Sony, Asus, Google, and Samsung Galaxy S23 and S23+ , At present, there is no fast charging speed of 35W.
However, if consumers want to experience full USB-C performance, consumers may have to directly upgrade the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max. Relevant spy photos also show that Apple may only reserve Thunderbolt and 35W fast charging for high-end models. The basic iPhone 15 is likely to continue to use 20W charging and USB 2.0 transmission speed.
