Description:
Apple will reportedly release an optional, more powerful USB-C data transfer 
cable for the iPhone 15 Pro.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Weve long suspected that Apples adoption of the USB-C standard on the iPhone 
15 Pro will bring tangible improvements to data transfer speed , but tipsters 
have remained divided over just how fast these speeds might be. 

Now, were hearing that Apple could be preparing to release an optional USB-C 
data transfer accessory cable for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max  
one thats capable of Thunderbolt or USB4 data transfer speeds of up to 
40Gbps. 

This tip comes from serial Apple leaker Kosutami, who claims (via X ) that 
this Thunderbolt cable will measure 0.8m and support charging up to 150W 
(Kosutami initially mentions 120W, but the leaker has subsequently corrected 
this figure in a follow-up post ). Data transferring cable for iPhone 15 Pro- 
which sold separately. Up to 120W Charge, features USB4 Gen2. Length 
0.8m.(Different than existing thunderbolt one)(Already got this since

Thats not to say the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be capable of 
charging up to 150W, mind  the latest intelligence suggests that Apples top 
iPhone 15 models will offer 35W charging at best  but this latest tip does 
corroborate existing rumors surrounding improved maximum data transfer speeds 
for these devices. 

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, for instance, has previously suggested that 
Apples iPhone 15 Pro models will ship with cables that support at least USB 
3.2 or Thunderbolt 3. This spec upgrade means the wired transfer and video 
output user experience [on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max] will 
significantly improve, Kuo claimed via X in November last year. 

Support for USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro 
Max would allow for data transfer speeds of up to 20Gbps  thats already 
significantly faster than the 480Mbps maximum transfer rate offered by the 
current best iPhones . 

Kosutamis post, however, teases the potential existence of an optional, 
not-in-the-box cable that  being based on the Thunderbolt 4 protocol  would 
facilitate even faster data transfer speeds of up to 40Gbps (double that of 
Thunderbolt 3). Presumably, then, you may have to fork out extra money to get 
the best out of your iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. 

In any case, the data transfer speeds offered by the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 
15 Pro Max are all but certain to dwarf the equivalent figures offered by 
their iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus siblings. The latest rumors suggest that 
the cables supplied alongside those iPhones will be limited to the USB 2.0 
standard  in other words, theyll offer the same 480Mbps maximum transfer 
speeds as Apples existing Lightning cables.
