Apple is holding its next big event, dubbed «Wonderlust», on September 12 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, to launch the iPhone 15 series, iOS 17, Apple Watch, and other products.
At the event, it is expected that the tech giant, for the first time, will launch the iPhone 15 lineup with a USB-C port instead of Apple's proprietary Lightning connector, reports The Verge.
Along with this, Apple might announce the release dates for iOS 17 and watchOS 10 during its upcoming event.
Although reports claim that the USB-C port will be available on all iPhone 15 models, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that only the Pro and Pro Max will benefit from faster data transfer rates.
Both premium models will have «at least» USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 ports, while the base iPhone 15 and 15 Plus will have USB 2.0 ports.
Some Apple iPhone 15 models are likely to support charging up to 35W which will offer faster charging speeds.
In addition, supply chain analyst Ross Young predicted last year that all models of the iPhone 15 would include the Dynamic Island. The iPhone 15 lineup is also expected to get an ultra-wideband chip as well.
Moreover, the report said that the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are rumoured to feature a titanium frame, slimmer bezels, and a more easily repairable aluminium chassis, similar to the iPhone 14.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max might also have a faster A17
