Title: Images Suggest Some iPhone 15 Models Could Feature Thunderbolt Data Transfer Speeds Post by: HCK on August 18, 2023, 04:05:05 pm Images Suggest Some iPhone 15 Models Could Feature Thunderbolt Data Transfer Speeds
Some iPhone 15 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-15/) models will be equipped with a Thunderbolt/USB 4 retimer chip for high-speed data transfer, according to ChargerLab (https://www.chargerlab.com/breaking-news-iphone-15s-usb-c-port-and-the-revelation-of-a-mystery-chip/). (https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2023/08/iphone-15-thunderbolt-retima-chip.jpg) Following last week's leak of alleged images (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/08/08/iphone-15-usb-c-parts-leak/) of the ‌iPhone 15‌'s USB-C port components, ChargerLab has seen further images of the parts and believes that they show an integrated circuit (IC) for Thunderbolt data transfer speeds. The IC, known as a retimer, rebuilds signals and mitigates jitter. It augments signal transmission stability for high-capacity data ports and extends transmission ranges. Such chips are seen in other Thunderbolt/USB 4 devices, and ChargerLab believes it is clearly identifiable on the ‌iPhone 15‌'s USB-C components. All four ‌iPhone 15‌ models are expected to feature USB-C instead of Lightning. The iPhone 15 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-15-pro/) models with USB-C ports are expected to support higher-speed data transfers (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/11/16/iphone-15-high-speed-data-transfer/), likely up to Thunderbolt speeds (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/11/17/iphone-15-pro-thunderbolt-port-rumor/), while the standard ‌iPhone 15‌ models will likely continue to feature USB 2.0 speeds – the same as Lightning. For comparison, the iPad Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad-pro/) features a Thunderbolt port for transfer speeds up to 40 Gbps, while the entry-level iPad (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipad/)'s USB-C port is limited to just 480 Mbps.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: iPhone 15 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-15-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: ChargerLab (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/chargerlab/), Thunderbolt 4 (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/thunderbolt-4/)</div> This article, "Images Suggest Some iPhone 15 Models Could Feature Thunderbolt Data Transfer Speeds (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/08/16/some-iphone-15-models-feature-thunderbolt-speeds/)" first appeared on MacRumors.com (https://www.macrumors.com) Discuss this article (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/images-suggest-some-iphone-15-models-could-feature-thunderbolt-data-transfer-speeds.2398792/) in our forums Source: Images Suggest Some iPhone 15 Models Could Feature Thunderbolt Data Transfer Speeds (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/08/16/some-iphone-15-models-feature-thunderbolt-speeds/) |
