Apple is switching to USB-C for its new phones, though it remains to be seen when the change will happen. Noted analyst ming chi kuo he is confident that the port change will happen in the second half of 2023, which should coincide with the launch of the iPhone 15 series.
Kuo believes Apple will bring USB-C to all of its new iPhone 15 models, although only the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will have USB 3.2 standard or at least Thunderbolt 3 which should handle up to 40Gbps for transfers of data. The iPhone 15 and 15 Max will be locked to USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps) just like current light-enabled iPhones.
Apple has a long history of differentiating features between its Pro and vanilla model iPhones, so a high-speed USB-C connector seems like a logical move for Cupertino. Kuo also speculates that Apple may add solid-state volume buttons to the 15 Pro series. The 15 Pro Max can also get a periscope lens with up to 6x magnification.
