Even though it was no surprise, the new iPhones sporting a USB Type-C did shock some people because a lot of them were hoping that Apple would find a way to use USB-C with its own twist, but at the end of the day, that did not happen as the iPhone 15 just has a standard USB port that is used for charging and data transfer, which definitely is a good thing.
You can connect your USB Type-C storage drives and more to your iPhone 15 thanks to a higher output via the USB-C port
Now, despite adding the USB-C port, Apple is staying humble with the charging speeds. The new iPhone 15 can charge from 0 to 100% in less than two hours, and the phone supports a max charging speed of 27W. However, we have now found out that the new iPhone is capable of outputting a lot more power than the older iPhone that shipped with the Lightning port.
The Type-C port on the iPhone 15 is capable of outputting 4.5 watts whenever you connect an accessory to it. In comparison, the Lightning port only managed 0.3 watts maximum. Now, what does that mean for users? Well, it means that your new shiny iPhone can power things like USB Type-C storage drives. You will even be able to charge your AirPods or other headphones via your iPhone, which is a good thing, and honestly, the possibilities are a lot because your iPhone is now able to provide more power using the new Type-C port.
Again, this should not come as a surprise to anyone because Apple has a habit of not focusing on a lot of these details during the live keynotes, and that is why it is always interesting to see the information that comes out after the event has concluded. The iPhone 15 series is proving to be a success so far, with a lot of people going for these devices and the Pro models being completely sold out across all storage and color variants.
If you are looking to get your hands on the new iPhone 15, they are available for pre-ordering and will be hitting the shelves on September 22nd, next week. So be sure to have your wallets at the ready for the latest and greatest iPhones.
