However, the benefits of this feature depend on internet speeds and service provider packages. USB-C to Ethernet cables are available for purchase, starting from $12.99.
Apple has provided additional details about the USB-C port on the iPhone 15 models. All iPhone 15 models can charge accessories at up to 4.5W, while the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max support USB 3.2 Gen 2 for data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. The iPhone 15 Pro models also support recording ProRes video directly to an external storage device.

The iPhone 15's new USB-C port brings several new features, including the ability to charge accessories like AirPods and Apple Watch. Apple has published a support document explaining that the USB-C port allows users to connect their iPhone 15 to external displays, enabling them to watch videos and view photos on a larger screen. The USB-C port supports USB-C displays using the DisplayPort protocol, with resolutions up to 4K and 60Hz refresh rates.

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.

Apple has updated compatibility tables for existing Mac and iPad USB-C chargers and cables to state that they are also compatible with the iPhone 15. While you'll still need cables with the necessary capabilities for specific features, such as 10Gbps data transfer speeds, you won't need to pay an Apple tax for MFi cables.
All models of the iPhone 15, including the iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, now support DisplayPort for up to 4K HDR video output to an external display or TV.

Previous iPhones with a Lightning port were limited to 1080p video mirroring.
