The new iPhones, slated to drop on Sept. 22, feature never-before-seen color-infused glass — an “industry first” — and new charging ports.

    Usb-c is going to be a big deal for connecting devices to the phone. Now I don’t need to have some studios lightning adapter to plug in a usb drive or to get video out.

    I look forward to experimenting with different things connected to see how they work. I’m curious how video out is handled. But I’m guessing I’ll be disappointed in most cases.

    I expect being able to connect a usb drive will be helpful though.

      Android users welcome you to 2017…

      …or not. Apple will limit USB-C to USB 2.0 speeds so… good luck with that.

          Seems that it comes down to Apple adding a USB 3 controller in the A16 A17 chip where the A15 A16 did not have one embedded. They’d otherwise need to have an external controller to add support in the non-pro phones which is easier said than done when dealing with a phone. Annoying but understandable at least.

          That is correct as the Pro devices have the A17 chip and the non pro are on the older A16 chip.

              The iPhone 14 Pro had the A16 chip. The 15 non-pro now has the A16 chip so they’re “passing down” the previous chip to the no -pro line, at least this year. Previously, they reused the A15 from the iPhone 13 lineup which was also re-used for the non-pro 14 iPhones.

              no, the 15 is effectively the 14 Pro in an aluminum shell and 2 cameras instead of 3.

        Pro models support up to 10 gigs per second which is a touch more than 2.0

        Honestly I am fine with it. It looks like they did not have the usb3 controller built into the cpu until they made the 17 and m1 chips. To be honest, I am not going be moving any large files between the phone and a flash drive, at most a short video. The slower speeds will not bother me.
