Faster USB Port

Last year, Apple finally made the switch to USB-C for all iPhone 15 models. That was mostly because it had to comply with new rules in the European Union, but a win is a win.

Sadly, the USB-C ports on the standard iPhone 15 models don’t offer transfer speeds any faster than the Lightning ports they replaced. The iPhone 15 Pro models got a speed upgrade to 10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2, but the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus remain stuck at 480 Mbps USB 2.0 speeds — way less than the current standard.

While that may not matter to every iPhone user, we’re hoping Apple will upgrade the USB-C speeds on the base iPhone models and maybe even move to a Thunderbolt port for the iPhone 16 Pro for even faster transfers.
