    They can’t. It’s clearly stated that the USB connector is still limited to the lightning speed.

      Apparently the Pro version has USB 3.0. Still mediocre compared to new Android phones (not just the flagships) that are pushing Thunderbolt.

      Hooking up your android phone to an ultrawide with built-in dock is still funny, but not very useful.

        I did it once with a Windows Phone. Bar the novelty thing, it is not something I found useful

          I got USB 3.2+ confused with Thunderbolt, since the terms are used intermixed. I mean USB alt-mode (display and peripherals)

      There is no such thing as ‘lightning speed’. It’s just a connector, not a data communication standard. The non-pro iPhone 15 uses the same SoC as last year’s pro models, which happens to have an USB 2.0 controller. The new SoC used in the 15 Pro models have a 10 gbit USB 3.0 controller on board.

        “Still limited to the same speed of the model using the lightning connector” did not have the same ring to it.

        Did not know they finally moved to a usb3 chipset on the pro when I commented, good to hear.
