Recently, Apple announced at its launch that it is moving to USB-C with the iPhone 15 series. Now that the iPhone has this feature, most of Apple’s products will use USB-C by 2025. This transition has disappointed many Apple users. But it may give Apple the green light to bring back some bundles. In its newly released support document, there are features that will excite users.
Unknown features of Apple’s iPhone 15 series with the transition to USB-C!
So what innovations did Apple bring with USB-C? Apple shared details about the iPhone 15 models in the support document published last Friday. All iPhone 15 models will be able to charge an Apple Watch, AirPods case or other small accessories connected to the USB-C port up to 4.5W.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max also support USB 3.2 Gen 2 for data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. But there’s a catch. The USB-C cable for the iPhone 15 Pro models supports USB 2 speeds. For higher speeds, you need a higher specification cable. You can also use a compatible USB-C to USB-A cable if your car has a USB-A connector.
All iPhone 15 models have the ability to mirror up to 4K HDR video to a TV with a supported USB-C to DisplayPort cable or adapter. This is proof that the new lineup supports DisplayPort. The iPhone 15 Pro models also support recording to an external storage device at up to 4K resolution and 60 Hz per second.
A brand new era begins for Apple. With the iPhone 15 series, it started the transition to USB-C. Until the end of 2025, it plans to use USB-C in all its products. This situation brought some questions to mind. Is Apple going back to the 2012 version? If it does, can it bring other features that users love? Like the discontinued MagSafe Battery Pack and MagSafe Duo.
The company has not yet made a statement on this issue. Why such a radical change was made is a matter of curiosity. When it switched to Lightning in 2012, it reflected this transition to all its products in a short time. Now it will repeat the same for USB-C.
The new iMac, which will be released next month, will include USB-C in accessories such as mice and keyboards. Then the company will launch new non-Pro and Max AirPods with USB-C. That leaves a few batches of products Apple sells that still use Lightning, such as the first-generation Apple Pencil and iPhone SE. They will join the bandwagon soon.
