Apple already sells USB-C chargers and adapters, and their prices are high

Apple’s iPhone 15 line includes a new connector and therefore new accessories for the smartphone. The company is already selling some options to future consumers in its official store. As expected, they are expensive.

The USB-C connector adopted in the iPhone 15 line represents a change in the smartphone charging standard after years of using Lightning chargers. Therefore, anyone who has used an iPhone in recent years will need new accessories for their new smartphone.

Apple does not include a wall charger in the iPhone box. So, anyone who wants a USB-C compatible model will need to buy it separately. It is on sale in the Apple online store for R $ 219.

Another option is to purchase an adapter – which Apple also sells. To use Lightning cables on iPhones with USB-C port, the consumer will need to pay at least R $ 349, on the brand’s official website.

There are cheaper offerings launched by other brands, and given that Android devices already use USB-C, it won’t be too difficult to find a cheaper alternative than the ones offered by Apple.

A change in the iPhone 15 connector does not necessarily represent a change in the data transfer speed of the smartphone.

For example, the base model of the iPhone 15 is compatible with USB 2.0 – the same standard used in older Lightning cables that launched in April 2000. It offers a maximum transfer speed of 480 Mbit/s.
