It's unfortunate that there are no reviewers actually testing USB-C file transfers. Is it really such a cumbersome task? Apart from Apple's marketing, the actual file transfer speed varies widely depending on the performance of the internal controller, even with USB 3.2 equipped. For example, my Galaxy S23U supports USB 3.2 1x1 (*5 Gb/s) bandwidth, but when actually transferring videos to a PC, it achieves 184 MB/s (1.4 Gb/s). iPhones come with USB 3.2 2x1, and although Apple's advertising claims support for 10 Gb/s bandwidth, the actual file transfer speed is likely much slower.

Great video. What data cable are you using for the 15 pro max speeds?

Great. Now I can use the dozen lightening cables to tie up my bread & cereal bags..

Lighting cables only work for a few months.. as with my iPhone 8 port.. lighting just to lose.. now I gotta buy a 15 and get with the program. My 8 works off a charging plate.. even in my car.. the cables just don’t wanna work after you squeeze them in and out for a few weeks or months.. I got all kinds of lightning cables..$50 worth in 7 years

I tried connecting a dock with HDMI, USB keyboard and mouse, and power over USB C. all of it worked. The only annoying thing is that you can’t really switch apps with keyboard and mouse, you have to use the iPhone screen for that. I really wish that iPhone had a desktop mode like Samsung Dex. At that point for some people, you might be able to replace your laptop or a desktop with just an iPhone

So glad I can now carry one cable to charge all my devices, except Apple Watch but that's understandable. I immediately found out one of my USB A to USB C cables did not do data when I swapped it for the Lightning cable in my vehicle that I use for CarPlay but luckily I had another USB A to USB C cable and that one does work with CarPlay. The cable that does work with CarPlay is just a bit short, so I'm gonna have to find a longer one on Amazon, preferably a braided one.

I used my iPhone X for radio broadcasts using a Lightning/3.5mm dongle attached to my TRRS adapter. "Upgraded" to iPhone 15 Pro and purchased USB-C/3.5mm TRRS adapters. It works for audio on my phone, but when I make a phone call it bypasses the headphone/mic adapter and won't work anymore for radio broadcasts. Very bogus.

My iPhone 15 has issues connecting via a USB-C to USB-A cable to my car both for charging and carplay. I have two USB-A ports in the car and only one port is stable and functions with the 3 different aftermarket branded cables I tried. None of the cables work in the port I used to use with my iPhone 13 which had a USB-A to Lightning connection. I have tried the Belkin Power Boost cable that Apple offers on its website but, it didn't work either. Lexus is insisting that the problem must be the cable rather than the USB port in the car - something that makes no sense given the testing that was done at the dealership. Have you heard anyone else experiencing power conneciton/stability issues when the iphone 15 is plugged into a USB-A port in a car?

Why wont my Sandisk luxe usb with C connection work, it actually feels like it doesnt connect in properly (feels loose) I just want to read my documents stored on the USB 🤯

The USB-C port is acting weird. I have the 15 Pro Max and MOST times, when I plug in an NVMe SSD... nothing. It lights up, but doesn't show up in files or the camera for Pro-Res. If I reboot the phone, it will usually show up... once. My wireless mic receiver (lightening, and connecting with an adapter) also doesn't work for some reason. If I use a hub that has power... the drive does show up. Oddly, an old portable HDD works without any issues, even when there's no external power.

also usb 2.0 cables are sufficient for carplay.

my iphone 15 pro max cannot be charged using powerbank via USB-C. When I use USB-A cable from the powerbank, the iphone 15 pro max charges. It's terrible

Even in Android no company gives usb3.0 type c cable in box
