We are only a few days away from the conference unveiling the iPhone 15 series, and there are still many rumors that constantly appear about the new iPhone, which will be one of the most powerful smartphones in the market this year thanks to its amazing features, especially support The USB-C port, but this is not the only feature as the iPhone 15 is expected to support the Thunderbolt port, but what does this mean for you, continue reading the article until you know everything about Thunderbolt technology in the iPhone 2023.
iPhone 15 and Thunderbolt port
It is expected that Apple will switch from the Lightning port to the USB-C port in the iPhone soon, thanks to the laws of the European Union, which forced Apple to use the new port in its smartphone, while the iPhone maker still has one year to go. Before complying with the new EU rules, however, the company apparently decided to switch to USB-C with the iPhone 15.
But that's not all, according to the ChargerLAB website (which specializes in everything related to charging and ports), we can see that in addition to USB-C, the iPhone 15 port will contain a smaller chip (the Retimer chip), which is usually found in ports that support Thunderbolt technology. For a better and faster connection.
What does Thunderbolt support mean?
Apple Macs contain a Thunderbolt port (thunderbolt port) next to the iPad Pro, but what does it mean to support the iPhone 15 for the Thunderbolt port, and it can be said that the Thunderbolt standard is a protocol developed by Intel in cooperation with Apple, and through this port, Users can transfer data between devices up to four times faster than the USB-C port and 80 times faster than the Lightning port on the iPhone.
The current Lightning port (works with the USB 2.0 standard) in the iPhone transfers files at a speed of 480 Mbps, while when using the Thunderbolt port in the iPhone, you will be able to transfer files at speeds of up to 40 Gbps.
This means you'll be able to transfer any file, photo or video in a jiffy, which is especially useful if you shoot a lot of 4K video, which can get quite large and heavy to transmit.
In addition to transferring data faster, the presence of a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt technology may mean that you will be able to charge your iPhone faster than before.
Although rumors indicate that Apple is determined to make the iPhone 15 able to use a 35-watt charger compared to 27 watts with the iPhone 14 Pro Max charger, the Thunderbolt port will make it much faster, and you will be able to charge Your entire device within a short period not exceeding an hour.
Which model will get a Thunderbolt port?
It is expected by a large percentage that the new iPhone will support the Thunderbolt port, but any device will get this technology in the iPhone 15 models, and perhaps the answer can be deduced as Apple uses Thunderbolt technology with the iPad Pro only, so that the device appears as professional, powerful and in In contrast, the iPad Air contains a slower USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port at 10Gbps, while the iPad mini has a USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port at 5Gbps, and the regular iPad contains a USB 2.0 port, which It works at 480 Mbps. Thus, Apple's next step will be for the 40Gbps Thunderbolt port, by making it an exclusive feature for the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models.
In the end, we reviewed everything about Thunderbolt technology in the iPhone 2023, and now we just have to wait until Tuesday 12th of this month as the date of the Apple conference, and then we will know if we will actually see a USB-C port and Thunderbolt support in the iPhone lineup 15 or not, a few days and we will confirm this rumor.

Thanks for the great article 🌹
Is there an iPhone today that needs more than an hour to charge?
Hello Muhammad 🙋♂️, thanks to the Thunderbolt technology expected in the iPhone 15, it will be possible to charge the device faster than before. Rumors indicate that Apple intends to use a 35-watt charger compared to 27 watts with the iPhone 14 Pro Max charger, which makes it much faster, and you will be able to fully charge your device within a period not exceeding an hour ⏱️.
Perhaps it will be exclusive to the iPhone 15 Ultra, the iPhone Pro will be the latest generation USBC, and the regular iPhone will be the first generation USBC.
UCBC on the iPhone must be better so that I do not lose the difference with Android
Hello Arkan 🙋♂️! Indeed, we expect there to be major improvements in the charging ports for the new iPhones. However, the exact details will remain uncertain until the devices are officially announced. Follow our blog for the latest updates and news about Apple! 🍎📱🚀

What devices will support iOS 17?
Apple's shift to USB-C and these tremendous capabilities that will be achieved through this port, unlike what was the case with the previous port, reveals the lies and hypocrisy of Apple, which was claiming through its defense of its old port that USB-C would not be able to transfer data as is the case. With Lightning and now it has become clear that the opposite is true and that Apple is holding on to the old port for the sake of monopoly and financial profit at the expense of quality!! What is strange is that this site was adopting Apple's false claims and is now cheering Apple's move to the new outlet!!
Hello Amir 🙋♂️, First of all, it must be made clear that our website aims to provide information objectively and honestly. We share news and updates as is, without endorsement or disapproval of any party 😇. As for Apple's move to USB-C, this is a natural evolutionary step in the world of technology. We must not forget that change and development are an integral part of the technological world in which we live. Thank you for your comment and following 🍏💚
If they have Lightning cables, they should keep them because these cables will become rare, and luck may come to one of the iPhone users and sell the iPhone Lightning cable in one of the auctions for $10000 😂😂
But we do not deny the increase in cable waste due to the Apple people's transition from Lightning to USB C
The iPhone 15 and 15+ are considered two economic category phones from Apple, and they really economize on screen frame frequency and data transfer speeds 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Islam 🙋♂️, you seem to appreciate the humor in things! 🤣 But as for data transfer speeds and screen frame frequency, Apple always seeks to improve these features in every new version. With the iPhone 15, we are expected to see support for Thunderbolt technology, which will significantly increase data transfer speed. As for the screen frequency, there is no information yet, but we can expect something exciting! 🚀📱
The best iPhone 15 passed by ❤ Apple Company ❤
A new problem will arise for iPhone owners until the XNUMXth. Companies will focus on producing Type-C cables... and the old Lightning cable will become a thing of the past... and the options available in the market will decrease little by little... and interest in the quality of old cables will decrease.
Hi mamoun 🙋♂️ Confirmation, moving to USB-C port may reduce the options of lightning cables available in the market. However, we should not forget that technological development often means change and adaptation to new technologies. However, I think accessory companies will continue to provide Lightning cables to owners of older devices. 😊💡🔌📱
These expectations are very beautiful, God willing, and good steps for Apple. We are waiting for the soon date of the conference to be held to talk about the new version
I do not expect that Apple will add this feature to its new devices
Very nice and also the price advantage will be on the tops
I did not need the mentioned speeds at all because I am not a professional photographer, and I do not copy anything using cables, whether backup or data, thanks to iCloud and the heavenly update. What cable or wire speed will matter to me?!
This applies to a wide audience of people, in my opinion, and this is exactly what the apple knows. There is no real need for this non-professional audience for the photography industry. Oh God, we need to charge with a unified cable instead of the chaos that we suffer from due to the defunct Lightning port.
Hi Suleiman Mohammed 😊, I completely understand what you are saying. Indeed, many users do not fully exploit the capabilities of fast connectivity in modern devices, which is often used in large data transfers. And you are right, thanks to iCloud and cloud updating there is no need to rely on cables so much 🌩️☁️. Of course, we share your desire to unify the Apple charger with other manufacturers to make it easier for the user 🔄🔌. thanks for your comment!
Thank you for your efforts.. but we missed the application choices article that occurs every Friday
I expect that the iPhone 15 will support this feature, and it will be a very advanced step in the history of Apple, but do you expect that the iPhone 15 supports this feature, and what do you think of the rumors that appear about any new phone and the leaks? Are they true? And are there rumors that have been announced? Indeed it was correct?
Hi Sultan Muhammad! 🙋♂️ Your predictions are really interesting. As for iPhone 15 support for the feature I talked about, this remains within expectations until the official announcement. As for rumors and leaks, they are part of the world of technology and sometimes they are true and sometimes not. But we always advise taking this information in good faith until it is officially confirmed. 😄📱
