Apple Switches to USB-C on New iPhone 15 Models, Bringing Faster Charging and Connectivity

Apple replaced Lightning with USB-C on iPhone 15 models, enabling faster charging, display output, and data transfer speeds.

USB-C allows users to connect the iPhone to external displays, hard drives, keyboards, headphones, and more using the same cable.

The universal USB-C standard means cables and accessories will work across Apple and non-Apple devices.

USB 3 speeds supported on iPhone 15 Pro models enable direct camera capture to external SSD drives.

With USB-C, users can charge accessories like AirPods with their iPhone battery and wired headphones now work across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
