A major announcement is causing a stir in the tech world, involving Apple and the upcoming iPhone 15 generation. Signs suggest that, in a long-awaited move, the company is preparing to make the big switch from the Lightning port to USB-C. And while there has been no official announcement yet, newly leaked images already offer us an exciting first look.
More specifically, the popular portal gsmarena published a series of photos showing the new USB-C ports on the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max models. These images confirm the anticipated transition to this new generation of ports. These striking discoveries surfaced on Twitter, giving us an official look at the upgraded connectors on the phones' PCBs.
According to reports, the "budget" iPhone 15 models will feature impressive USB-C 2.0 technology, offering impressive data transfer speeds of up to 480Mbps and charging power of up to 20W. At the other end of the spectrum, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Max will fall into the high-performance category, supporting USB-C 3.2 speeds for even better performance. This marks the first significant upgrade to data transfer speeds on iPhones in around 11 years of development.
There have also been recent rumours of potential limits on data transfer and charging speeds for USB-C accessories and charging cables that are not part of the "Made for iPhone" programme. This means that transfer speeds and overall performance will not match those of official USB-C cables bearing Apple's seal of approval.
