It has been a minute since the iPhone 15 series launched worldwide. The newest iPhones have been received with a mixed bag of reviews from users and reviewers worldwide. Overheating, battery draining, rattling speakers, and other issues apart, the new lineup has brought several upgrades over last year's iPhones.
The most significant change that the latest iPhones bring is the adoption of the universally accepted USB Type-C charging port across the lineup. Apart from benefits like faster charging and data transfer, the USB-C port also opens up many more possibilities on the iPhone. If you are curious, read on ahead.
iPhone 15 USB Type-C is game-changing
With the iPhone 15 series launch, iOS users can do a lot of stuff that they couldn't do previously. Below are some unique USB Type-C port use cases on the latest iPhone 15 series devices.
Trending
1) 4K video recording to external storage
Apple has launched the iPhone 15 Pro with 128GB as the base variant. Anyone who has recorded knows that uncompressed 4K videos can quickly fill up the entire storage in seconds. However, with a USB Type-C port, you can connect an external storage drive with fast read/write speed and record uncompressed 4K videos directly to the drive. This is an excellent use of a USB-C port for those who record videos frequently, like creators.
2) Connect iPhone to a TV or Monitor
The A17 Bionic Pro chipset on 15 Pro models has a USB 3 controller enabling 10GBps data transfer speeds. As such, users can connect their iPhones to a gaming monitor or 4K TV using the USB Type-C cable to mirror the display with low latency. This feature would be handy when the AAA gaming titles like Resident Evil 4, Death Stranding, and Assassin's Creed Mirage, which are coming to iPhone 15 Pro later this year.
3) Use Ethernet on iPhone
There are often scenarios where your Wi-Fi service drops or weakens, and you are stranded without a stable internet connection. In such cases, you can connect your iPhone 15 to an Ethernet connection for rock-stable and low-latency internet connectivity. All you need is an RJ45 Ethernet to USB Type-C dongle to be free of Wi-Fi woes. A wired connection is always better than a wireless one.
4) Record audio using an external mic
Apple has ensured that MICs on iPhones are pro-grade and can capture good audio while recording videos. However, it might still have distortions and background noise. These issues can be eliminated using high-definition external wired or wireless MIC using the USB Type-C port. This is particularly useful for content creators and vloggers, who already have a high-quality MIC and can now use it with their iPhones.
5) Read and write data to external storage
As mentioned, the Pro models start at 128GB, and many users stick to the base variant due to budget constraints. In previous models, unless you had an Apple One plan, you would run out of storage eventually. But it is not the case anymore since the USB Type-C port on the iPhone 15 series allows users to connect external storage drives to the iPhone. The external storage can be used to offload media files and transfer them seamlessly to another phone or laptop.
These are some of the best USB Type-C port use cases on the latest 15 Pro models. You can also use it to charge other compatible devices like the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen and listen to lossless music with USB Type-C wired earphones, among others.
