Nonetheless, there have been a number of experiences that the brand new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus fashions can have their USB-C connections restricted to USB 2.0 knowledge switch speeds. Now one other leaker has chimed in.
Leaker Majun Bu, who beforehand posted details about Apple’s expected new USB-C cables, says the cables that can be included within the field with iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus units are restricted to USB 2.0 knowledge switch speeds, which prime out at a most charge of 480 Mbps, which is identical charge as the present Lightning port and cable.
On the premium finish of issues, the iPhone 15 Professional and iPhone 15 Professional Max fashions are expected to boast higher USB-C transfer speeds, hitting speeds no less than as quick as USB 4 or Thunderbolt 3. The sooner speeds imply the iPhone 15 Professional and iPhone 15 Professional Max fashions can have the flexibility to switch video and different varieties of information a lot sooner than the lower-end iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus handsets.
We’ve seen a number of experiences concerning the iPhone 15 and its ports and cables within the final week or so. Earlier this week, a report mentioned Apple will break away from its traditional “you can have any color charging cable you want, as long as it’s white” policy. The Cupertino agency is claimed to be planning to supply iPhone charging cables in no less than 4 new colours alongside the normal white choice.
Leaker Kosutami lately tweeted a photo of five iPhone charging/sync cables in several colours which can be mentioned to check to the brand new coloration finishes for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. The cables within the picture are in black, yellow, purple, and orange along with the usual white. The leaker warned that the “orange” cable may very well find yourself being extra of a coral or pinkish shade. All the cables sport shiny white plastic on every finish, save for the black cable, which has black ends.
Kosutami’s tweets didn’t present any data as as to whether the color-matched cables may even be included within the field with the iPhone 15 Professional and iPhone 15 Professional Max fashions.
Whereas iPhone packing containers have historically included white, rubber-jacketed cables within the field. Apple has step by step been shifting to pack in braided cost/sync cables with its units, so it isn’t out of the query to imagine that these improved cables can be included with the upcoming iPhone 15 handsets.
In March, Apple business analyst Ming-Chi Kuo mentioned iPhone 15 customers will see optimized charging of their units through the USB-C port and cable, however provided that they’re utilizing official Apple-certified USB-C cables. This implies in case you’re utilizing an Apple-certified charger, you may even see slower charging speeds with a third-party non-certified cable.
As standard, all of this data ought to be thought-about rumors and conjecture and ought to be taken with a grain of your favourite salt-free seasoning. We gained’t know something for certain till Apple unveils the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Professional lineups in September. Most observers expect Apple’s iPhone media event will take place on September 12.
