iPhone 14 Pro series features USB 3.0 Lightning connector with faster transfer speeds

by ·

When Apple launched the iPad Pro in 2015, it upgraded Lightning to the USB 3.0 protocol, which can achieve faster file transfer speeds compared to the USB 2.0 protocol. But unfortunately, after so many years, the iPhone still adheres to the USB 2.0 protocol and can only provide a maximum transmission speed of 480Mbps. It seems that Apple is ready to change.

It is reported that Apple will provide a USB 3.0 Lightning connector for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The theoretical maximum transmission speed can reach 5Gbps. It is actually very important for users to upgrade, because shooting 4K ProRes videos is very large, and the transmission using the old USB 2.0 protocol is too slow.

Therefore, after upgrading USB 3.0, it is expected that the data transmission speed of the data cable will be greatly improved. Of course, unfortunately, unless you buy the iPhone 14 Pro series, the old models can only use USB 2.0, and this also confirms that the iPhone 14 series will continue to use the Lightning interface instead of the USB-C interface.

There are also rumors that Apple may cut off the interface to make the iPhone completely wireless transmission and wireless charging, anyway, Apple does not want to use the USB-C interface.
