The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus were the first standard iPhones with USB-C, and both are capped at USB 2.0 — 480 Mbps, the same rate as the Lightning port they replaced. The 10 Gbps link is Pro-only. The port still does DisplayPort Alt Mode video out to 4K, and fast charging reaches about 50% in 30 minutes on a 20W-plus adapter. The two models differ only in screen size and battery.
