According to ChargerLAB, the iPhone 15 may have Thunderbolt support in its USB-C connector. This makes sense, as Apple today uses USB-C ports with Thunderbolt in a variety of products, such as Macs and the iPad Pro.
In case you didn’t know, Thunderbolt is a hardware interface developed by Intel in partnership with Apple to transmit data at high speed. The latest version of Thunderbolt uses the USB-C connector and is present on many Apple devices. In the case of the iPhone 15, the use of this standard was discovered due to a chip used in the USB-C connector, which normally has the function of reconstructing signals and reducing signal jitter in Thunderbolt devices.

For comparison, the Lightning connector transmits up to 480 Mbps while the USB-C connectors transmit between 5 Gbps and 10 Gbps. If the information regarding Thunderbolt is confirmed, we will have access to a transmission capacity of 40 Gbps. This is useful for professionals who need to quickly stream ProRes videos to a computer, in addition to enable faster battery charging.
Release and availability
The iPhone 15 is expected to be released in the third week of September 2023.
