Apple will comply with an EU mandate to change the iPhone’s charging port, so it will have to join the USB-C standardization, which analysts say is a problem for data transfer.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, who is usually right in his predictions about the company’s products, the inclusion of this port will be implemented on all iPhone 15, but only the Pro and Pro Max versions will support high-speed data transfer.

Something that Apple usually does is make a big difference between the lower models of each family, such as the standard version and the Plus, which for this year was in the screen, processor, cameras and more.

What it means to have USB-C for iPhone

Kuo says the Pro versions of the company’s next cell phone will support USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 specifications, which are currently the fastest. The former will have transfer speeds of up to 20 Gbps, around 2.5 Gbps, which only works with USB-C.

And the second variant, which is more powerful, reaches up to 40 GB/s, almost 5 GB per second. But both will be high-end options, and entry-level phones don’t cut it.

For this reason, for the Standard and Plus versions, the analyst confirms that USB 2.0 will be used, which means that the range will be a maximum of 480 Mbps, more or less 60 MB per second.

So they will be limited and will not benefit from the mandatory inclusion for Europe, staying at the speed achieved by the current Lightning port, which allows the same for USB 2.0.

All this is yet to be confirmed, as Apple has not clarified whether the charging port of the iPhone 15 will be changed or if the modification will be carried out before 2024 with version 16.
