Apple’s Recent Launch: iPhone 16 Series Brings Upgraded Features, But USB 3 Speeds Might Be Misleading

Apple recently unveiled its latest iPhone 16 series, promising exciting upgrades and improvements. While the event showcased numerous upgrades, one phrase caught many off guard: “faster USB 3 speeds.” However, it seems that Apple’s phrasing might have been taken out of context, and the reality is that the new lineup of iPhone 16 devices does not offer improved USB transfer speeds.

According to technical specifications, the USB 2 and USB 3 transfer speeds for both base and Pro models are 480 Mbps and 10 Gbps, respectively. Interestingly, these speeds are identical to those found in the iPhone 15 Pro and non-Pro models. This means that, in reality, there is no significant improvement in transfer speeds.

So, what did Apple mean by “faster USB 3 speeds”? It appears that the company was comparing the iPhone 16 Pro models, powered by the A18 Pro chipset, to the non-Pro models, which are powered by the A18 SoC. In this context, the Pro models do offer faster data transfer speeds. However, this comparison only applies if Apple is comparing the iPhone 16 Pro’s transfer speed to the iPhone 14 Pro, the last generation with the Lightning cable.

For those eager to experience 10 Gbps transfer speeds with their iPhone 16 Pro, they will need to purchase an appropriate USB-C cable separately. It’s also worth noting that USB 3 is the third generation of the Universal Serial Bus standard, offering faster data transfer speeds compared to previous versions.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max also boast larger displays, with 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screens, respectively. The displays also feature a 120Hz refresh rate (ProMotion) and up to 2,000 units of peak brightness.
