Apple recently introduced the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models along with the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. While Apple reached millions of viewers at the live broadcast event, it used USB-C for the first time with the new iPhones.
READING NOW It’s a joke: Plain iPhone 15s come with 23-year-old technology, USB 3.0 only on Pro
USB-C but which USB-C?
As those interested know, USB is the abbreviation of the word “Universal Serial Bus”. USB, which means “Universal Serial Bus” in Turkish, is a serial connection format that allows external hardware to be connected to a computer or the iPhone 15, which is a regular in our topic.
In smartphones, we have been seeing USB 3.1 speeds in the Premium segment for a while.
USB 3 is only available on iPhone 15 Pro
It’s unclear exactly why Apple stuck to the USB 2 standard on the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. However, this may be related to the A16 Bionic chip used in the plain iPhone 15s. Because the Lightning connector on the previous generation, i.e. iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, actually had data transfer speeds at the USB 2.0 level, that is, 480 Mbps. On the other hand, the transfer speed in previous generation iPhones was also limited to 480 Mbps. Whatever the excuse, the fact that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, which appeal to the Premium segment, now have USB 2 speeds is ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
