Let’s take a closer look at the improvements this change brings to users. Although we were all used to the way Lightning charging works and the way we use our accessories. USB-C opens a window full of new possibilities for our iPhone.
Loading speed
One of the highlights of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro is its extremely fast charging ability. With a simple USB-C cable and the Apple standard 20W USB-C charging adapter These devices can charge from 0 to 100% battery in less than two hours. Of course, although it may seem incredible, this does not represent a change compared to the iPhone 14, which could also be charged at the same speed via the Lightning port. In fact, flash charging was a fast and very efficient form of charging, but by no means universal.
Power for your accessories
We see a truly revolutionary change in the iPhone 15’s ability to power accessories. Previously, iPhones could only supply a limited amount of power to accessories via the Lightning port; the maximum output was around 0.3 watts. However, according to some reports, with the introduction of USB-C, the iPhone 15 will be able to deliver up to 4.5 watts to accessories through this port.
This improvement changes the relationship between iPhone accessories and the device itself, opening up many possibilities. This means that external devices, such as portable hard drives with USB-C, can now be connected directly to the iPhone 15 and act as external storage for transferring videos or photos. This also means you can conveniently access files and data from anywhere, without the need for a computer, by simply connecting your external hard drive to the iPhone.
Faster data transfer
In addition to improving power delivery over USB-C, the iPhone 15 Pro goes one step further by including a USB 3 port instead of the standard USB 2. This allows data transfers of up to 10Gbps, meaning you can transfer larger files and back up your data at high speeds. This feature is particularly useful for users who use their mobile device as a work device and need a quick and efficient way to manage their files.
Charge your AirPods
Apple also presented an interesting feature when presenting the iPhone 15. It’s the way to charge your AirPods on the go by connecting them to the iPhone 15 with a USB-C charging cable. This can be very useful in emergency situations when you need a quick charge and don’t have access to a power source at the moment.
Overall, the introduction of USB-C charging to the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro represents a significant change in the way we users will interact with our devices from now on. This not only allows us to enjoy faster charging speeds, but also makes full use of the power supply capacity for accessories and faster data transfer speeds. Opens a world of possibilities for users seeking a more versatile and efficient mobile experience.
