iPhone 15 series is tipped to launch next month at an Apple launch event with the upcoming smartphone lineup expected to bring a range of upgrades from a new charging port to upgraded rear camera setup. According to a recent report, the iPhone 15 lineup will offer support for Thunderbolt connectivity over the rumoured USB Type-C port. However, a tipster now claims that the cable included with the iPhone 15 will only support USB 2.0 connectivity, which means it will support slower charging and transfer speeds than a USB 4 or Thunderbolt compatible cable.
X (formerly known as Twitter) user Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) shared images of the purported USB Type-C cable that will ship with the iPhone 15, claiming that the accessory will measure 1.6m in length and feature 16 pins. It is claimed to be more durable and thicker than the existing USB Type-C to Lightning charging cables provided by Apple.

According to the tipster, the cable that ships with the iPhone 15 will offer USB 2.0 connectivity and support 20V at 3A charging. If the leaked details regarding the cable are accurate, the included accessory will allow data transfers at up to 480Mbps.
Recently, details of the purported iPhone 15 cables that measured 1.5m in length and featured a braided design — with colours matching the iPhone in the box — were leaked by the same X user. However, the tipster mentioned that they were unable to verify the source of the images, so it is worth taking these claims with a pinch of salt.
