Apple's USB-C Trickery: iPhone 15 Pro's Hidden Cable Controversy?
Ғылым және технология
So Apple's released a bunch of new USB-C cables. BUT here's the kicker, you're not going to get the most out of your new iPhone 15 Pro with the included cables. In fact, all the Apple USB-C cables that you can buy at the Apple store...won't help out...
If you need a cable right now, get this one (Amazon link): mreh.ca/453NqnZ

I did do the tests on the iPhone 15 Pro Max but I'm not sure about. Using the same data transfer files, the iPhone 15's Pro Max time for the 5.5 GB file was on average (3 runs) around 185 seconds and the ~1200 for the 38 GB file. I would imagine they would be same but I'll try again after my iPHone 15 Pro Max has been on for a few days (might be an indexing issue?)

Unfortunately, I think this is pretty standard for most companies. Even when the phone supports a high transfer speed, the cables include with it are often 2.0 speeds, even if the charge speed is faster.

It’s because even with the pro phone I would say at least 50% of users have no desire to even use those high trans speeds and they’re probably just average Joe’s who charge their phone like a normal person so the box cable is gonna be just good enough for everyone, except for those people that want the high-speed and ultra fast charging. The people that want it will gladly pay for the higher end cables, and that’s how Apple makes their money and why they’re one of the wealthiest companies in the world.

Man these comments, did u guys ever seen any android with USB 3.0 port like Pixel or S Series come included with USB 3.0 cable? All of them come with USB 2.0 cable because it's thinner, more flexible and only for charging
Your content is just excellent. I don’t even have any intention to buy a 15, but you’re so thorough and fun to listen to I have to watch
Such good information! Thank you!!!
Would never have known if it wasn't for your video! Thank you!
I just hope we keep this same energy for all smartphones from different companies capable of fast data transfers.

@@xpusostomos What’s even more egregious/interesting about Samsung is they put a usb 3.0 speed port on the usb micro s5. Then from the s6 to the s21 it went back to 2.0 speeds with their usb C port. Then with the s22 they added 5Gbps USB 3 speeds. For how much people care about specs on Samsung phones I’m surprised that managed to go under the radar for so long.
Loving the constant content!! Just wanted to mention something though, At the end you mentioned that the thunderbolt cables that’s “$10 more” while the price is correct. That cable is a TB2 cable and WILL NOT work with USB-C and is an older connection standard seen on older macbooks/imacs. The high data rate cable would be a TB4 (or 3) which averages from $75-$150 depending on the length! :)
amazing video!!! you’re so talented!!
Many thanks for this informative video 👍 your vide are always brilliant

Great & interesting review. Just bought the C2C caberQU too.
I really hope you can test different usb c accessories that aren’t MFI to see how well they work. Like a backbone controller among other things.
awesome my friend !! thanks
Nice, informative video. Please do one about the best cable/charger to use for battery/phone health. For me that’s the #1 thing I care about. That’s why I try to use only Apple gear or premium brands, is it worth it?
Well said 👌🏽
Most people will never use their USB-C cable to transfer data and the boxes do specify "charging" so I don't have a huge problem with it. The real blunder in my opinion is Apple not selling a USB 3.2 USB-C cable on their website, which leads less-informed customers to think they need that Thunderbolt cable when it offers no benefit at all for an iPhone 15.

Hi! Will the Ugreen Dac Model Usbc to 3.5mm jack will work on iPhone 15 ProMax?
Very interesting video 😐
What should I do for car charging/car play? My vehicle only has usb ports. Would it be best to get a usb to usbc cable or a usb car charger or one of those little pieces that you plug in a usbc to be a usb? Any recommendations? Thanks!
Should I keep my 20w wall adapter or get a higher Watt wall adapter like the 30w one for when I get my 15 pro max? Also going to get the 2m 240w charging cable

The dog kept my attention 😂
Dude...LMAO. Keep up the good work mate.
Been looking for a while and can’t find any specs on how fast the port is on the Samsung s23 ultra, but every forum post that i’ve read say it tests at usb2, even with 3.x+ cables…
what was the name of the that tester you used and where did you get it from thanks....
wow i just got the 15 pro max yesterday, does this that my phone wont fast charge? do i need usb c 3.0 to fast charge my phone? thanks for the video!
Answer- Yes :) Thanks for another great video.
that dog is a good boi 😂😂
The faster speed cables are great but they are really thick and stiff in my experience. I wouldn’t want to use it for charging. I just wish it was a longer braided cable that was included in the box.
Idk why I’m trying to order cable with your link but it’s just taking me to Amazon without the product 😢 is it me or the link help need that cable 😂😂
Can you use the new apple cord for carplay?
Apple cut so much corners..no charger, no usb3 cable, no leather case, no earbuds 😂
How did the JSAUX USB C to USB C Cable 100W/5A do? I see the 6 foot red and black braided in your pile.
Your AMAZON link do not work in europe. Do you have the ASIN for recommended mophie charging cable 1m USB-C as well?
I wish you would do a review of cables offered at Amazon and Walmart as well
I am a dog lover, how do you keep your so steady? Mine is like a vulcan, going all aroud 😂😜
Hey, what about a good brick for the wall. I only have the old 20watt one that was suggested from able acouple years ago. Anyone know some of the best bricks out there? Not super worried about the price, just something that looks somewhat nice and that will be able to utilize the speed of the Mophie 3.1 USB-C Cable and allow it to do what it was meant to! Anyone have any good options?
Dude your dog is such a lad
I got the 15 pro. But need a USB 2 to USB C for my stereo… there shouldn’t be any issues??? Correct?
Is there a longer version of the mophie cable?
Are the cables included with a Samsung Galaxy S23/S23+ USB-C 3.0 cables or are they just charging cables with USB 2.0 speeds?
What 10 foot cable would you recommend?
So what speeds was the transfer using the thunderbolt cable?
Put a link on the cable tester, better if it sells in Canada
so which one is the best for charging?
Yes, the pro phones should include the „pro“ cable. Also they preach how important environment is to them and taking the steps needed to reduce the footprint of Apple products, but then they do not include the faster cable to use their new feature in their phones and make consumers buy an extra cable. So now the included cable gets stored somewhere in a drawer bcs will not be used
I love how flexible and slim the apple cable is tho. I want something like that
Am i looking for 3.0 Gen 1 cables? Not sure which are the fastest now
I believe it wasn't necessary for the cable to be included in the box as it's not the standard practice. However, it would have been a thoughtful addition. At the very least, they should offer a small grey or black cable with USB 3.0 to distinguish it from the white USB 2.0 and Thunderbolt.

Can you charge the iphone 15 with a usbc 3 cable and a variety of powerbricks from 0-100 to see if you can charge the new iphone faster when using a usbc 3 cable and good charging brick.
Yes the faster cable should be included else it is just adding more cables to more landfills. Supposedly something Apple is against. Your dog is just adorable. He seemed to be taking in every single technical detail…lol.
I can not find that morphine cable anywhere on Amazon even with the link.
my new iPhone 15 pro max charging cable doesn’t allow my car to mirror my phone using the charging cable ( I have to use a usb adapter on one end to plus into my car) Does that mean I need to get this the cable in the description as in a data cable with a usb adapter. Never had this problem with my old iPhone I could just plug the usb bit into the car and the other end into my phone and it would mirror it. Need help please
What was that thick orange cable?
Yep
I mean its labeled and sold as a CHARGE cable. Theres a huge difference and maybe apple sacrificed a little bandwidth to provide faster charging. Not many users will ever use that port to transfer data.
Are the apple ones different then old ones or have they just decided to advertise their existing wattage?
The buzzed hair looks great!
Your link to the Mophie Cable did not work as intended.
where is this labeled cable? can’t seem to find it
What’s the best cheap usb c (3.0) cable
is it safe to charge my iphone 15 with a pixel usb c cable?
they’re charging cables - thinner I guess so easier to handle/more compact? If you need higher speeds you’d buy a data cable (which apple doesn’t seem to sell yet)
I like the IPad stand what’s it called ?
I ordered the iPhone 15 Pro Max should I return it because I heard it breaks easily and it overheats easily and should I get AppleCare because I didn’t get AppleCare for it I usually do but my phones have never broke so I don’t know what should I do
Am I safe to use whatever usbc charger? Or do I still only want to use first party ones?
Unpopular opinion but if my theory is correct then its a smart business move on their part. My theory is that the number of people who actually use the iPhone to its full potential and really need those fast data transfer rates is probably a very small amount. While it might only cost them a few cents to dollars per cable more in the overall cost it ads up if they include the higher rate cable so if they think most users won't even need it and the small few that do typically will have third party accessories anyway then they opt to save the money. But I could be wrong. just my guess.
Great content. That's Tim the Crook Cook for you.😂😂😂
To be fair, Apple does label it a “Charge cable” everywhere, which to any “pro” user who would want USB 3 Data transfer speeds, should instantly alert them to the fact that they are not USB 3 speeds. “Pro” users who actually need USB 3 speeds would also already own USB 3 cables. So if anything, including a Charge cable in the box is fairly reasonable. I’d also wager that for people who buy the Pro models just cos it’s the best/most expensive are almost universally not going to notice or know the difference.
I appreciate you 👊😎
Yes they should have said. They also should label their charging cords vs data transfer cords so we know not to buy the charger one if data transfer is important to us.

how did it turn out? ive read & watched a lot on this issue since buying iphone 15 but thinking about trading for 15 pro (or a 13). It seems the internal SSD in found in ALL iphone models, wont allow much past 60Mb/s (40 for base 15). I’m trying to confirm if 15 pro can get much closer to USB3.2 Gen2 10Gb/s speeds b4 i decide. Running out of time...may just just get the 13 and see if the 16 is "the one".
monty turning to look at the camera at 2:31 😭😭
It’s even worse than you said! You accidentally showed the older Thunderbolt cable Apple sells, which is a mere $39.00 USD. The 1m Thunderbolt 4/USB-C cable that Apple sells is *$69.00* USD. Ridiculous!!

Man I can’t find the a black Mophie Cable for the life of me. Already ordered the white one but it’s gonna be clean all of maybe 12 hours. Probably less depending when it arrives 😂
I expected all USB-C cables to be 3.0 or higher, but manufacturers, being cheap as usual, use 2.0 or only power, which is annoying when you need a USB-C cable for data transfer. Also, it would be nice to have a way to test the claims of the different wattages.
Can u test with the thunderbolt 4
