Apple's iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro launch is less than a month away and details related to the flagship devices are being leaked daily. The iPhone 15 Pro models will come with major changes in terms of design and internals. However, the company desperately wants to boost the sales of the standard iPhone 15 models which is why the standard models will receive their fair share of upgrades. According to the latest leak, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models will house a USB-C port with Thunderbolt capabilities for higher and faster data transmission speeds.
The iPhone 15 will be able to take advantage of Thunderbolt data transfer speeds all thanks to the new USB-C port
According to ChargerLab, the iPhone 15 models will feature a Thunderbolt or USB 4 retimer chip which will allow the devices to boast higher data transfer. The entire process will be available on the iPhone 15 models all thanks to the forthcoming USB-C port which will also be available on the 'Pro' models. This is not the first time that a USB-C component of the iPhone 15 has been leaked. The source has seen further images of the iPhone 15's USB-C port which could bring Thunderbolt speeds to the table.
The aforementioned retimer circuit will aid in the higher data transmission on the iPhone 15 Pro. If you are not familiar, the chip is responsible for reinitiating signals and eliminating any breakage of poor signals, making room for higher and faster data transfer speeds. Additionally, the chip also increases the transmission range. The chip is present on other Thunderbolt devices and can be easily identified on the iPhone 15's USB-C port.
Apple will be moving away from its proprietary Lightning port to the USB-C on all four models this year. While the company could have reserved the feature for the iPhone 15 Pro models, it saw fit to include it on the entire lineup. This could be one reason why the company is looking to increase the price of the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro models.
With the new USB-C port on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro, users will be able to enjoy faster Thunderbolt data transfer speeds. The new addition will be a welcome addition, particularly for photographers who use their iPhones as a main camera. They can easily transfer their photos and videos to their notebook and even the iPad at faster data transfer speeds. Take note that additional components are required to take advantage of Thunderbolt data transfer speeds. For instance, the USB-C port on the iPad Pro and the entry-level iPad is miles apart in terms of data transfer speeds.
