An explosive announcement is causing a stir in the world of technology, involving Apple and the upcoming iPhone 15 generation. The indications suggest that, following a much-anticipated trend, the company is preparing to make the significant transition from the Lightning port to USB-C. Even though there’s no official announcement yet, new leaked images have already given us a first and quite thrilling glimpse.

To be precise, the popular portal gsmarena published a set of photos depicting the new USB-C ports of the iPhone 15 models, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. These images validate the expected transition to this new generation of ports. These stunning finds came to the foreground through Twitter, providing us an official look at the upgraded sockets on the PCBs of the phones.

According to the information, the “budget” models of iPhone 15 will incorporate the impressive USB-C 2.0 technology, offering impressive data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps and power charging up to 20W. On the other end of the spectrum, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max will fall into the category of high-performance devices, offering support for USB-C 3.2 speeds with even better performance. This is the first substantial data transfer speed upgrade for the iPhone in approximately 11 years of evolution.

Also, recent rumors had circulated about a possible restriction of data transfer and charging speeds for USB-C accessories and charging cables not included in the “Made for iPhone” program. This means that the transmission speeds and overall performance will not be equivalent to those of the official USB-C cables bearing the Apple seal.
