More so now that Apple executive Greg Joswiak has revealed that the company is releasing USB-C and doing away with the Lightning port, the iPhone 15 series is speculated to have a USB Type-C connector. Additionally, we now have some updated information on data transfer rates and Apple’s plans for the two USB-C connector types.
The USB 2.0 port for the standard iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus might provide data transfer rates comparable to those of the Lightning port. The iPhone 15 Pro variant, on the other hand, reportedly has a considerable speed bump of up to 40 Gbps.
As it did with the iPhone 14 series, Apple will once more distinguish between iPhone Pro and non-Pro versions to promote Pro sales. The non-Pro iPhone 14 has the older A15 Bionic chipset and 60Hz screen, while the iPhone 14 Pro has the A16 Bionic chipset, 120Hz ProMotion display, and certain camera enhancements.
The iPhone 15 Pro is anticipated to have 8GB of RAM, which would make it the highest RAM configuration for an iPhone, in addition to the recent addition of a USB-C connector that was made necessary by new EU legislation. 6GB of RAM is supported on iPhone 14 Pro variants. The iPhone 15 Pro might do away with the physical volume and power buttons in favor of solid-state ones that feel similar to pushing.
There are also some camera upgrades (probably excluding 8p lens support), battery improvements, and more. The iPhone 15 series is expected to launch in the second half of 2023, but no specifics are available at this time. So stay tuned for details on the iPhone 15 series and don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments below.
