We use it every day to load, but the port of the iPhone serves much more, as is obvious. Being a USB-C port, which already have all models from iPhone 15, The possibilities of use multiply. Based on our years of years using Lightning devices, the old connector, we have discovered up to ten functions that the USB-C gives. Apple does not shout to the four winds, but here you can connect from a pendrive to an extra monitor.
Connect with external screens
If you need to make a presentation from the mobile or simply share the content of your screen, the most common is to resort to the option of duplicating the iPhone screen, although for this you must have a monitor or television compatible with the AirPlay standard, which is the one that allows it. Therefore, the best alternative here is Use a thunderbolt cable with USB-C format that allows connecting the iPhone to the screen and reproduce its content.
Fast transfer many files
As someone who often works with heavy files in Mac and iPhone, I must say that what I have noticed is the ability of the USB-C to reduce transfer time Thanks to the standard speed than the Lightning. It is ideal when the file is heavy or there are many.
Of course, we must remember that not all iPhone have the same USB-C standard. Non-Pro models have USB 2.0, which limits speed to 480 MB/swhile the ‘pro’ and ‘pro max’ models have USB 3.2 of 2nd generation with speeds that, there, are more optimal with even 10 GB/S..
Manual backups
Although I have always prioritized to make the iPhone backups through ICloud, my obsession not to depend on a single service has taken me to manually transfer some files to a pendrive or external disc. With the USB-C and those speeds of speeds, I have noticed a lot of difference and I am no longer so tedious to load everything from the APP ‘files’.
Be entertaining
Precisely thanks to having greater compatibility with external storage accessories, you can also carry in them entertainment such as books, music or videos That you have downloaded. By the way, it will help you save space in the internal storage of the iPhone.
Load other devices with your iPhone
It is personally my favorite function on trips. Thanks to having a much more versatile connector, the Load of devices such as Apple Watch and Airpods. If you have enough battery on the iPhone, but not in them, save you from a hurry.
Of course, it will also serve to Recharge other mobiles or tabletsthat in this case it is very good when you are away with friends. Of course, do not abuse because the iPhone battery is not unlimited; A quick bargey to have enough and run.
Use a set for games without latency

-More and more iPhone games allow you to connect an external controller to better control the game. There is the possibility of connecting an iPhone Bluetooth command, but you are looking for The best possible experienceyou will only obtain it by cable and in this field are the controls compatible with USB-C the ones that grant the best response.
Connect to audio interfaces
I recently told me a good musician friend how well he has come that his iphone 15 pro has USB-C to have a greater ease at the time of Connect the device to audio interfaces and sound cards. In his case, he also uses the native (and free) application of ‘Garageband’, so the USB-C has multiplied the possibilities of creating music from the iPhone.
Improvement of developer processes
If you are an application developer in iOS, the USB-C It will allow you to better the purification process (debugging). The frictions that exist in the process of connecting it to a computer or other device and executing specific programming tools are greatly reduced.
Say goodbye to suitcases full of cables
It is the last, but perhaps the most important. That the USB-C is already the universal connector of all devices (whether Apple or not), allows us to finally travel without having to take a cable for each device. Perhaps it continues to become two if we are going to make an intensive use of all, but a priori, with only one it will be enough.
In summary, having an iphone with USB-C is not just a technical improvement, it is An improvement in our routine. It is one of those functions that, even if they do not change your life, make it easier. The pity is that Apple takes so much to realize.
