Apple’s decision to transition all iPhone 15 models from Lighting to USB-C connections (before EU compliance) will have one major catch: “markedly” different performance. This is because the new connectors are not as reliable as the older ones, and can cause problems with connecting and disconnecting devices, among other things.
Apple is releasing a new iPhone model with faster USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 speeds, and an older model with the same USB 2.0 speeds as before. ..
The new USB 3.0 specification revision will greatly improve the user experience for wired transfers and video output. This is because high-speed transfer chips will be needed within the Apple ecosystem and imitation by rivals will be fueled by the new trend. This is also helpful for the expansion of the high-speed transfer IC design sector. ..
USB 3.2 can transfer data at up to 20 gigabits per second, while USB 2.0 can only transfer data at a maximum of 480 megabits per second (60 megabytes per second). That is a 40x increase in speed.
On the other hand, it could be argued that not everyone needs a speedier USB-C connector and that an image taken with an iPhone Pro model can still be captured using a basic USB-C connection.
The 4K video that all current iPhones produce is not a good choice for creating professional-quality videos. This is because ProRAW, which is the standard for creating professional-quality videos, requires a lot more storage space and benefits from USB 3.2 speeds.
Apple has released a new iPhone model that is aimed at professionals. The new phone features excellent design, building materials, screens, chipsets, front- and back-facing cameras, and modern connection. This indicates that the models are of high quality and meet the needs of professionals. ..
Apple should continue to offer the iPhone 15 Pro model, which is currently the best option for those who want the best performance and features. However, if demand for the Pro model is low, then Apple should consider narrowing its gap between the regular and pro models. This will help keep upgraders happy and ensure that sales of the regular models don’t decline as much.
