We’ve barely got our hands on theiPhone 14models but the rumour factory never sleeps, and there are already some solid-sounding rumours about theiPhone 15. And right now the most interesting one is about something that’s a genuine issue for the pro usersApplemarkets its most expensive phones at: data transfer.
According to Twitter leakerLeaksApplePro, that’s going to change next year.
Faster data for the iPhone 15 Pro and Ultra
It’s worth noting that LeaksApplePro predicted USB-C connections for the iPhone 14, and that didn’t happen. But they’re adamant that next year we will see Apple finally move from Lightning in all four iPhones, and that the Pro and Ultra models will be further differentiated from the non-Pro models with the introduction of Thunderbolt 4. That’s the connector used in the very fastest Macs such as the Mac Studio and the14 and 16-inch MacBook Pros, with bandwidth of 40Gbps and compatibility with USB-C too.
That’s overkill for a normal iPhone, of course. But video and photo pros have different requirements, and right now it takes the best part of 3/4 of an hour to transfer a 15-minute 4K video from an iPhone to a Mac Studio or MacBook Pro because Lightning tops out at 480Mbps. Going from megabit to gigabit transfer might not be a big deal for users like me, but for creatives whose time is money it’d be a feature well worth paying for.
