Apple recently presented its new series of products at the Apple 2023 event, including the long-awaited iPhone 15. One of the most important novelties in these devices is the inclusion of the USB-C or Type C port, which favors compatibility with other devices, in addition to other possibilities, such as saving video directly to external storage, for example..
The iPhone 15 series consists of four models: the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max . All of these come equipped with the USB-C or Type C port, but unfortunately not all of them are of the same technical specification, which makes the PRO models the most advantageous in this regard in terms of data transfer speed.

The main difference between these two versions lies in the data transfer speed. The USB-C 2.0 version offers a transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps, while the USB-C 3.2 port offers a transfer speed of up to 10 Gbps.
Despite what has been said, the maximum data transfer speed on the PRO models cannot be reached with the cable that comes in the box of these phones, since all iPhone 15, including the PRO models, come with a USB cable -C 2.0. You can use this cable without problem on your PRO model since USB 3 technology is compatible with the USB 2 version, but you will be limited to 480 Mbps transfer speed. To reach 10 Gbps with your iPhone 15 Pro you must purchase a certified USB 3.2 cable ..
Conclusion
In summary, if you are thinking of purchasing one of the new iPhone 15 models, keep the following considerations in mind:
- The standard models (iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus) feature a USB-C 2.0 port, offering a transfer speed of up to 480 Mbps.
- The Pro models (iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max) have a USB-C 3.2 port, offering a transfer speed of up to 10 Gbps. It means you can transfer your photos and videos to your PC up to 20 times faster than with a standard iPhone 15 or Plus.
- All iPhone 15s come with a USB-C 2.0 cable. If you buy an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max and want to take advantage of the full data transfer speed, you will need to purchase a Type C 3.2 cable separately. If you don't care too much about this, you can easily use the USB 2.0 cable that comes in the box.
In conclusion, Apple has been forced to include the USB-C port in its new iPhone 15. Although there is a difference between the standard and PRO version of the iPhone 15 in its USB C version, in both cases it is an advantage due to the greater flexibility and compatibility that this port will offer with other devices, considering that the USB C port is already a standard in a wide number of electronic products.
