It is rumored that Apple iPhone 15 is likely to abandon the Lightning interface and use the USB Type-C interface instead. This change is mainly due to the mandatory requirements of the European Union, which prompted Apple to make a compromise. According to current news, Apple plans to adopt the highest level of USB protocol to improve the transmission speed of mobile phones .
Although most consumers will not connect their mobile phones to computers now, Apple is still preparing to upgrade the transmission speed of the iPhone . It is understood that Apple has invited Parade Technology to jointly develop USB 4, and plans to introduce the USB 4 retimer into the iPhone 15. Retimer can reconstruct the signal during data transmission and exchange, thus speeding up the transmission speed of the mobile phone.
Currently, USB 4.0 has a speed of up to 40Gbps, which is twice the speed of USB 3.0. This will allow the iPhone to transfer more quickly when connected to a computer, although the exact speed has not yet been determined. Device transfer speeds vary due to the naming confusion of the USB organization.
Compared with other characteristics of mobile phones, mobile phone manufacturers do not pay much attention to the transmission speed, and sometimes the speed is only USB 2.0, which is disappointing. If Apple can significantly improve the transmission speed of the entire mobile phone industry, it will undoubtedly be a good thing.
It is expected that Apple will launch the iPhone 15 series mobile phones at the autumn new product launch conference in the second half of this year, bringing a brand-new iPhone experience to fruit fans.
