Apple iPhone 15 (2023)
The standard iPhone 15 marked Apple’s historic switch from Lightning to USB-C across the entire iPhone lineup. Data transfer is limited to USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps), which can feel slow when offloading 48MP photos or lengthy 4K videos. Despite the USB 2.0 data cap, the port supports native DisplayPort output up to 4K HDR…

The smaller Pro model packs the same A18 Pro chip and USB 3.2 Gen 2 connectivity as the Pro Max into a more pocketable 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display. Data transfers hit 10 Gbps over USB-C — twenty times faster than the standard iPhone 16 — making it practical for offloading 4K ProRes video to…

The USB-C port runs at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10 Gbps), making large ProRes 4K video transfers practical — but you’ll need a USB 3 cable since the included one is USB 2.0…
-
Apple iPhone SE 4th Gen (2025)
Rebranded as the iPhone 16e, this budget-friendly iPhone finally brings Face ID, a 6.1-inch OLED display, and USB-C to Apple’s most affordable smartphone.

-
Samsung Galaxy A56 5G (2025)
The Galaxy A56 5G is Samsung’s 2025 mid-range bestseller, and despite its 45W Super Fast Charging headline (a first for the A-series), the USB-C port itself is the budget USB 2.0 spec.
