After the change in the iPhone 15 of the connector Lightningwe had had a lifetime on iPhone and its products, to a USB-Cforced by the European Union, we have been able to verify many functions and differences between them, which may interest you.
Above all, if you are looking for a new iPhone, and doubts between two old models, one with each of the connectors, because it will not only be a different cable that you have to use, because there are many more important points that will make you opt for one of these.
Advantages of using a USB-C connector on the new iPhone
We will review, in a list, and summarized, what are the advantages of one connector against the other, since, as we said, they are more than you can believe, and not just the type of hitch.
- Higher data transfer speed
- USB-C on iPhone 15 pro or superiors allows speeds of up to 10 Gbps With USB 3, while Lightning was limited to USB 2 (480 Mbps). This is ideal for transferring large photos and videos.
- Universal compatibility
- USB-C is a standard used on many devices, including MacBooks, iPads, PC, cameras, hard drives and other accessories. This reduces the need for specific cables and adapters, since for years the Macs bring these.
- Faster load
- Although Lightning endured fast charging, USB-C allows higher powers and better energy efficiency. On iPhone 15, you can load until 50% in 30 minutes With an adequate charger, something that with Lightning was much more complicated.
- Direct video output and audio
- Unlike lightning, USB-C allows video output up to 4K at 60 Hz through Displayport. You can connect the iPhone to a monitor or TV without complicated adapters.
- Support for more accessories
- USB-C allows you to connect microphones, keyboards, external storage and even loaders of other devicessomething that Lightning did not do without special adapters, that despite not being very expensive, they were tedious and not always effective.
Therefore, the benefits of using this connector, instead of the created by Apple, are multiple, since, as we can see, it has enough advantagessomething that we could not say about lightning, because we don't even see one, since the only thing that had better than the micro-USB, is that you could at least connect it on both sides, without having a specific form, however, this is also type C, so it would not be an advantage with respect to it.
And you, are you still having an iPhone with Apple's old and proper connector, or do you have one with the standard? The truth is that in my case not yet, and I want, since as we can see, it is much more comfortable, and you can get a pendrive, for example, to improve the phone's ability and pass things with a MAC in physical shape in seconds, something much more tedious if you do not have the right connector, since in the end nobody is with adapters to all sides.
