The iPhone 15 series has finally arrived, and it comes with a number of new improvements over the previous models. One of the most notable changes is the switch to a USB-C port. This is a welcome change for many users, as it means that they can now use the same cable to charge their iPhones and other devices, such as their laptops and tablets.
That said, the iPhone 15’s charging speeds are still slower than most Android phones. However, its USB-C port can now output significantly more power than the Lightning port. In fact, it can output up to 4.5 watts, which is more than 15 times the power output of the Lightning port.
In comparison, the iPhones with Lightning port could only output a maximum of 0.3 watts of power. The higher power output means the iPhone 15 can now power a wider range of accessories, such as external storage drives and other devices that require more power. It can even be used to charge other devices, such as AirPods and headphones.
The iPhone 15’s USB-C port also offers faster data transfer speeds than the Lightning port. For example, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max support fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps when using a USB 3 cable. This means that users can transfer files between their iPhones and other devices much faster.
In addition, the iPhone 15’s USB-C port supports DisplayPort for up to 4K HDR video mirroring and output to external displays. This is a significant improvement over previous iPhones, which were limited to 1080p video mirroring with Lightning adapters.
