The Power and Disappointment of iPhone 15's USB-C Port
TL;DR Summary
The iPhone 15's USB-C port can output up to 4.5 watts of power to accessories, a significant increase compared to the 0.3 watts maximum output of the Lightning port on previous iPhones. This opens up possibilities for expanding the range of iPhone accessories, such as directly connecting bus-powered USB-C portable hard drives for external storage. The USB-C port on the iPhone 15 Pro also supports data transfer up to 10Gbps. Apple even suggested using the iPhone 15 to recharge AirPods or an Apple Watch on the go.
