Apple may offer an accessory USB-C data transfer cable for iPhone 15 Pro models that is capable of Thunderbolt or USB4 speeds of up to 40 Gbps. This is the latest statement made by kosutamiwho posted details of the cable on Twitter (now X).
According to the leaker, the length of the cable is 0.8 meters, which is shorter than Apple’s existing one. Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable (1.8m), and is said to support charging up to 150W. Apple will supposedly sell the cable separately.
Given the expected switch to USB-C on all iPhone 15 models, there has been a lot of speculation as to which standard port Apple will use on its premium iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max devices to further differentiate them from the more affordable iPhone. Models 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
According Apple analyst Ming-Chi KuoiPhone 15 Pro models will support “at least” USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3. However, the leaked USB4 cable is based on the Thunderbolt 4 protocol, allowing it to deliver 40Gbps equivalent speeds, or double the USB 3.2 standard Gen 2 above. .
Regarding the 150W charging claim (not 120W, a correction made by Kosutami in a post tweet) this would make the cable capable of delivering power faster than Apple’s existing Thunderbolt 4 Pro cable (100W), however that doesn’t necessarily mean iPhone 15 Pro models are capable of charging at this speed.
Earlier this year, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that iPhone 15 models would support faster charging speeds due to the transition to USB-C, while a rumor claims that at least some iPhone 15 models can support charging speeds up to 35W. Current iPhone 14 models can charge at a maximum of around 27W, and Pro models can charge a bit faster.
So there remains a lot of speculation about the capabilities of the iPhone 15 line’s USB-C port, and nothing is certain beyond the Lightning switch. Rumors suggest that the cables supplied in the iPhone 15 boxes are limited to USB 2.0 data transfer speeds at a speed of 480 MBps, which is the same as Lightning.
By contrast, iPhone 15 Pro models are expected to ship with cables capable of USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 transfer speeds, according to Kuo’s original claim. Images of ChargerLab suggest that some iPhone 15 models will include a Thunderbolt/USB 4 timer chip, apparently confirming the rumor of higher data transfer speeds for the Pro models.
Every iPhone 15 will ship in the box with a braided USB-C charging cable that is thicker (meaning more durable) and 50% longer than the Lightning cable that comes with current iPhone models. according to reports. The cables are also rumored to be matching color to possible new iphone colorsavailable at least in black, white, yellow, blue and orange.
Apple will announce the new line of iPhone 15 at an event that is it is expected to be held on September 12.
