Comment on Apple Announces iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus With USB-C Port, Dynamic Island, Frosted Glass Design

Oh, don’t worry, Apple will still gate the port and only allow “approved” devices to transfer data.

No. They won’t. The iPad has a USB C port and has for years. They support USB mass storage just fine, as well as video and audio adapters. The files app (which is the same on both iOS and iPadOS) already read USB storage devices using a lightning to USB adapter. And both have supported USB mics over their respective ports.

Looks like there is no MFI bullshit on this.

That’s good news! But that same report says it’s limited to USB 2.0, which seems a bit weird for a 2023 device, but small wins, I guess.

2.0 on the 15, 3.0 on the Pro models.
Stupid imo, but likely fine for the vast, vast majority of use cases.

Many Android phones are USB 2.0 too. Mine does to my annoyance. The fact that transferring files is faster over wifi than cable is wild.
