With no way out after the European Union’s decision, Apple will be forced to adopt the USB-C port on all its products that still use Lightning. The iPhone 15 will be the brand’s first cell phone line with the universal standard, and according to the leaker’s information @analyst941 from Twitter, the only more expensive models will support Thunderbolt 3.
The informant revealed this Thursday (27) that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus must have USB-C ports limited to the USB 3.0 protocol. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the only models in the lineup to support Thunderbolt 3 in 2023, ensuring much higher data transfer speeds.
It is believed that the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will have Thunderbolt 4 capabilities, but that will not be immediately available with the announcement of the phones. Instead, there are rumors that the functions will be “temporarily blocked” with the release of iOS 17, which should happen shortly after the debut of the new ones. flagships.
One of the features that Thunderbolt 4 can enable is a “cinematic mode” that would allow connecting the smartphone to an external monitor to stream the feed of real-time video recordings in up to 4K in 16:9. The role would be ideal for filmmakers, visual content producers and other professionals in the field.
Note that Thunderbolt 4 features that are supposed to be included in iOS 17 will only support USB-C, so older models with a Lightning port won’t have the privileges despite their renowned video recording capabilities.
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 with “legacy” from the iPhone 14 Pro, including the new pill-shaped notch screen and the A16 Bionic processor. The iPhone 15 Pro should bring several camera improvements with a periscopic lens, capacitive volume buttons and the unprecedented A17 Bionic processor with 3-nanometer lithography.
