The upcoming Apple iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are set to impress with their new USB-C ports that boast blazing-fast data speeds. While previous leaks have revealed a more curved design, lightweight titanium chassis, and periscopic zoom camera, an anonymous insider has spilled the beans that the new port on the Pro models will be Thunderbolt 3, operating at up to 40 gigabits per second (Gbps), equating to 5,000 megabytes per second (MBps) – a stratospheric upgrade from the current USB 2.0 speeds of 480 megabits per second. The anonymous insider, who leaked accurate data about the Dynamic Island ahead of last year’s iPhone 14 Pro launch, also claims that the new port will output to monitors at up to 4K, making way for multi-display support similar to iPad Pros, which can connect to monitors to extend their workspace. With the ability to back up and restore phones in minutes and enthusiasts able to quickly transfer gigantic files such as ProRAW photography and ProRES video, this upgrade has the potential to revolutionize iPhone capabilities.
