![]() The iPhone 15 Pro Max dismissively said it does not support Thunderbolt accessories, which is baffling as Apple’s support documents suggest using the very same cables for connecting displays.įor a moment I toyed with the idea of buying a USB-C cable with Thunderbolt 4 support, the latest revision of the protocol, until I saw it costs over $220 and wasn’t in stock anyway. This despite having what seemed like the right Thunderbolt 3 cable hooking up the two devices. ![]() Nothing is easy and uncomplicated in this world though, and I was not able to connect the iPhone to the network with a 10-gigabit-per-second Ethernet brick. Connect an HDMI or VGA cable to the adapter. Powered hubs with SD card readers and more USB-C/USB-A etc. Depending on your iPhone model, plug a Lightning Digital AV Adapter, Lightning to VGA Adapter, USB-C Display AV Adapter, or USB-C VGA Multi-port Adapter into the charging port on the bottom of iPhone. Other things that worked included charging another iPhone, accessing footage on a GoPro Hero 11 and connecting a Yubikey USB-C hardware key. That means heaps faster charging, and the ability to run peripherals directly from the main device without power bricks and cables.Īpple chief executive Tim Cook holds an iPhone 15 Pro Max during an event at Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, earlier this month. Connect the device to the big screen through. USB-C can deliver a chunky amount of power, 20 volts and five amperes in some cases, which works out roughly as 100 watts. Lightning to HDMI cable adapter screen mirror iPhones, iPads to HDTV, monitor, or projector with HDMI input. The little plug does this by supporting several digital protocols over the same connector, like DisplayPort and the High Definition Multimedia Interface, which is what HDMI stands for, and is used for monitors and cameras.Īpple was happy to add USB-C to MacBooks and iPads years ago, but dragged the chain until now for iPhones. Now, USB-C is quite the wonder-connector: it can transfer data really fast (Apple’s iPhone Pro implementation zips along at 10 gigabits a second, which is quicker than most wired networks) it can connect external hi-res displays, network adapters, storage devices, audio gear, multi-port hubs and more. Just like the old Apple Lightning connector that’s now history. You had to flip the plug around a few times none of that with USB-C, as the plug fits either way. It solved the most vexing problem plaguing peripheral Universal Serial Bus users, which is that plugging in cables never worked the first time.
