The whispers surrounding the Apple iPhone 15 series are gaining momentum, reaffirming earlier rumors about a significant transition to USB-C connectors. As anticipation builds, let’s delve into the details of this intriguing development.
USB-C connectors for the Apple iPhone 15 series?
The conjecture surrounding Apple’s move to USB-C in the Apple iPhone 15 series seems to be gaining traction, and recent leaks have provided us with a preliminary glimpse of the purported connector, intricately entwined with flexible PCB components. These sneak peeks, captured and shared by @lipilipsi on Twitter, give us an early look at what could be a transformative shift in Apple’s connector strategy.
As the Apple iPhone 15 series is poised to make its entrance this autumn, the spotlight shines on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 models, each potentially featuring the eagerly anticipated USB-C connection. This transition could mark a notable departure from Apple’s traditional Lightning port, heralding new possibilities in data transfer and charging.
Earlier rumors speculated that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus would embrace USB 2.0 standard connections, mirroring the data transfer rates of 480 Mbps and charging speeds of up to 20W synonymous with the Lighting port. In a surprising twist, the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max could potentially introduce USB 3.2 ports, heralding a visible speed bump—a stride forward in terms of speed not seen since 2012.
While the shift to USB-C carries the promise of enhanced performance and versatility, earlier speculations hinted at Apple’s cautious approach to maintaining control. The company is rumored to regulate data transmission and charging rates, particularly for USB-C connections and accessories not aligned with its “Made for iPhone” (MFI) program.
