If nothing else, the upcoming iPhone 15 series released in September will bid farewell to the Lightning interface, and replacing it with a Type-C interface can be said to be a sure thing, although it is Apple's pressure to issue, but it is also an exciting news for consumers. However, things are not so simple, according to the news, the Type-C port mold specifications of the iPhone 15 series are not consistent, and Apple's knife method still exists!
From the exposed upper hand picture, the different versions of the Type-C port of the iPhone 15 series use different materials, of which the interface of the iPhone 15 Pro Max seems to be made of metal materials, and the texture looks much better, which may be related to the use of titanium alloy material body in the Pro version! The plastic material around the interface of the two standard versions of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus looks not as good as the Pro version.
In addition, a source revealed that although the iPhone 15 series all use C port charging, but in the specifications are not the same standard, of which the standard version of the two models iPhone 15/Plus use USB 2.0 version, that is to say, the data transmission speed will not be improved, and the previous Lightning interface is similar, the theoretical speed is about 480Mbps, the actual experience has to be greatly discounted. The two models of the iPhone 15 Pro series have higher specifications, which are said to be USB 3.2, and the transmission speed can reach 20Gbps, which is much faster than the two standard versions.
Not only that, Apple's Type-C port may have more thoughts, from a programmer "John011235" shared about Apple's Type-C port component test video and pictures, Apple may have encrypted operations on these components, the components are equipped with pm3003 power management IC chip, but there are also netizens feedback that pm3003 is not an encryption chip, this is a PMIC from Qualcomm, the main function is the switching adjustment of DC power supply, Of course, it is not ruled out that this is a small action made by Apple to prevent users from replacing third-party tailplugs.
Of course, according to Apple's previous practice, everyone should not be happy so early, this C port to experience the full transmission rate or charging speed, it is indispensable to buy Apple's official data cable, or Apple will continue to engage in MFi certification, those third-party data cables that have not been certified by Apple are either directly unusable, or various restrictions, let's wait and see!
