The iPhone 15 series is highly rumored to come with a USB Type-C port, even more so, after Apple executive Greg Joswiak confirmed that the company will adopt USB-C, thus, ditching its Lightning port. And now, we have some fresh information on the data transfer speeds due to this and how Apple may be planning to go for two types of USB-C ports.
Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed that Apple might use a high-speed USB-C port for the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max models. This could either be USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3.

Apple’s existing suppliers (e.g., Parade, Asmedia, Genesys Logic, Renesas, etc.) are expected to be leading beneficiaries.— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) November 17, 2022
Kuo also believes that this bifurcation will “drive Apple ecosystem’s demand for high-speed transfer chips and competitors’ imitation.“
