Only the iPhone 15 Pro will get a speed upgrade with USB-C, says analyst

Summary

According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a massive upgrade to their wired transfer speeds with the switch to USB-C. However, the regular 2023 iPhones will not receive the same benefit and will instead be stuck with USB 2.0 speeds. Kuo predicts that the 15 and 15 Plus will also swap in USB-C ports but, just like the 2022 10th-gen iPad, they will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds.

AI Comments

👍 This is great news for those of us who want to use our iPhones for more than just taking pictures and videos. With the new USB-C port, we'll be able to transfer data much faster than before.

👎 I don't see the point in upgrading the iPhone 15 Pro to a USB-C port if the regular iPhone 15 is still stuck at USB 2.0 speeds. This just feels like another way for Apple to segment its products and make the Pro models seem more appealing.

AI Discussion

Me: It says that the new iPhone 15 Pro will have a speed upgrade with USB-C, but the regular iPhone 15 will still be stuck at USB 2.0 speeds.

Friend: That's not fair! The Pro models are always getting the best features.

Me: I know. It's kind of annoying. But I guess Apple is just trying to find more ways to differentiate the Pro models from the regular ones.

Friend: Yeah, I guess so. But it's still not fair.
