iPhone 15's USB-C allows cross-device charging with Android phones
-
Android phones have been able to charge other devices using USB-C for years, but iPhones couldn't until the iPhone 15's adoption of USB-C.
-
Now, Android phones and iPhones will finally be able to share power with one another using a USB-C cable.
-
Using battery sharing, you can effectively turn your phone into a portable charger for other devices in a pinch.
-
While not used often, it's a handy feature to charge accessories or top off other phones when traveling.
-
This brings more unity and shared capabilities between Android and iPhone users.
