People presented the new iPhone 15 models during Wanderlust. In addition to the standard improvements, such as an even better camera and screen, they also get a new USB-C port. This also has another advantage.
For years, the tech world wondered why Apple continued to cling to the iPhone’s Lightning connector. Even some iPads had USB-C for years, while smartphones lagged. Due to EU regulations, Apple also changed tack, offering many advantages.
Functions of USB-C In iPhone 15
The advantages of the iPhone 15 go far beyond the fact that you do not have to buy a different cable for each device. Your smartphone becomes even more functional.

USB-C ports will make it even easier to charge faster in the future. So far, Apple has stuck to 20 W, which gives it the same speed as lightning. In the future, it will be easier to allow higher speeds. Still, the question is whether you want that since too high a speed can be at the expense of the battery in a device.
You can also charge the iPhone 15 with cables from any other smartphone. It is handy if you want to charge your phone at work or with friends, and everyone has an Android. This way, you can easily borrow a cable.
Connect To Other Devices.
The USB-C port lets you easily connect the iPhone to external hard drives, 4K screens, and microphones. The regular USB-C cable that you get with the phone is enough. So you don’t have to purchase separate cables, which is very nice.
The USB-C port makes it possible to transfer files from one device to another more quickly. The iPhone 15 Pro even supports USB 3, allowing you to transfer files up to 20 times faster. It’s a nice feature, but how often will you use it? Nowadays, we mainly transfer files wirelessly from one device to another.
iPhone 15 As a Power Bank
Yet, there is an even better function. Your new iPhone 15 and 15 Pro are now the ideal power banks. Charging your Apple Watch or AirPods via the USB-C port is possible. Remember that the basic model does not have a huge battery but is ideal for quickly charging your earbuds.
The big question is whether this function also works on non-Apple products. The company itself has not yet made any statements about this. We won’t find out until September 2O22 since the new iPhone 15 line will be available in stores from then on.
