iPhone 15 Models Have ‘Completely Standard’ USB-C Port Without Restrictions on Accessories::Apple’s new iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max are equipped with a “completely standard” USB-C port without…
“W00T, THE BARE MINIMUM, TAKE THAT GOOGLE” *Apple fans, still stuck, like, in 2017
What really blows my mind is not that the lower-end models have USB2.0 speeds, but that all iPhones always have in the past.
Lighting truly was ancient.
Apple actually upgraded Lightning to USB 3.0 speeds for the first (and second?) generation iPad Pro. There’s a official USB 3 “camera adapter” (essentially a Lightning to USB-A + Lightning passthrough for charging dongle) that works with these iPads at 3.0 speeds.
That was a very short run though, I don’t even think Apple ever released a Lightning to USB-A/C cable with 3.0 speeds.
Neat I didn’t know that
Of course the top comment is some “Apple vs. Google” garbage.

I don’t think having a desire to elevate the level of discussion beyond, “Haha fuck you Apple!” and rather focus on the technology and its ramifications qualifies as bitter fanboy-ism.

I can’t say that I’ve seen any comment like this where the user wasn’t being sarcastic.
Are you a robot?
I hope not, otherwise I have been charging myself the wrong way for decades!
Why do all iphone articles currently have this picture of a toilet seat?
:-)
I cannot unsee this now lmfao
The bigger question is, will developers be able to talk to their USB-C equipment without an MFi chip?
But how many people actually use this port for data transfer in uses cases where speed is vital? I haven’t transferred anything to my iPhone by cable since 2015 or something.
Actually that’s one of the frustrations I had with my old iphone. I don’t want to install itunes and sync stuff, I just want to connect my phone and transfer that one file from my friend’s computer.
I for example loathe every time I need to do some kind of file transfer for my wifes iPhone, and I have a macbook from work.
Just let me open the phone and do my thing. No, you have to have everything in sync everywhere.
Linus from LTT had a good idea where this comes from, the Apple Silicon in this generation of iPhone doesnt have a better usb controler. That could explain it, the time from defining a cpu to the first device are 4-5 years.
Surely with all the space they saved by removing the headphone port, they could get a controller in there
So no more MFI badges on accessories?
As the report notes, it is still possible that Apple will launch a “Made for iPhone” certification program for iPhone accessories with a USB-C port, but it appears that uncertified accessories will work just fine with the devices.
Still no thunderbolt
