Apple’s entire iPhone 15 lineup this year features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X70 5G modem, delivering unmatched wireless speeds. Still, there can be times when Wi-Fi or cellular reception is extremely poor, and can negatively impact the experience when casually browsing, streaming, or finishing up a time-sensitive task. Fortunately, there is another way to get faster and more reliable speeds; using the USB-C port of the latest models to connect to an Ethernet cable. As you might have guessed, this process requires a dongle.
When connected to an Ethernet port, the iPhone 15 can reach wired speeds of nearly 1Gbps in a speed test
To make a wired connection possible, you must purchase a USB-C to Ethernet dongle separately; thankfully, such accessories are extremely light on your wallet. According to Apple’s support document that was spotted by MacRumors, the company has listed several cables and accessories that can work with the newest iPhone 15 series. One of them is USB to Ethernet adapters.
Also, if you have yet to upgrade to any iPhone 15, remember that there is no benefit in upgrading to any one of the two ‘Pro’ models if you want to experience blazing-fast wired speeds, as all of them will deliver the same results. A MacRumors reader revealed that with the iPhone 15 Pro connected to an Ethernet port using an adapter, he obtained nearly 1Gbps in download and upload speeds, so clearly, the feature works.
However, if you live in another region where internet speeds are not as fast, do not believe that any iPhone 15 model will offer any advantage. These benefits depend entirely on how much you pay your service provider and the maximum speed limit of the package you have subscribed to.
There are several USB-C to Ethernet cables available on Amazon, starting from an affordable $12.99, so if you own an iPhone 15 and want to get significantly higher speeds on your device than you did before, you can proceed with the purchase and let us know about the performance differences below.
