Highlights
- The iPhone 15 might come with braided cables matching the phone’s colours, a first for Apple’s accessories.
- These new cables, akin to those of M1 iMac, are expected to be more robust with “strain relief plastic tubes.”
- Switch to USB-C: Beyond aesthetics, the USB-C could enable Thunderbolt-speed data transfers, especially with the Pro models.
- Anticipation and Expectations: The rumour has led to both excitement and trepidation among fans, with the official announcement expected on September 12.
The rumour mill is once again in overdrive with the imminent launch of the iPhone 15, and amongst the speculation, a particular detail has caught enthusiasts’ attention.
The possibility of Apple including a colour-matched braided USB-C cable in the box for the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro models. A feature that may seem trivial to some but signifies a remarkable shift in Apple’s approach to accessories and practicality.
Various reliable sources have fed the rumour mill, including Twitter user “Majin Bu,” Apple collector “Kosutami,” and the widely respected MacRumors. All report the possible inclusion of colour-matched USB-C-to-USB-C cables with the new iPhone 15 and 15 Pro models.
Design and Colours
The cables are said to be like those bundled with the M1 iMac, adorned with “strain relief plastic tubes.” They are purported to be much sturdier than Apple’s traditional TPE material cables, which have been notorious for fraying and getting dirty.
Photographs released hint at the possible colours for the iPhone 15, such as black, yellow, pink, blue, and purple. However, the exact colour schemes for the Pro models remain a mystery.
More confirmations of the possible UBS-C Switch
The shift to USB-C may be more than just aesthetic. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 15 Pros’ port may enable data transfers at Thunderbolt speeds, a boon for professionals handling high-res images and videos.
The mere idea of a colour-matched braided USB-C cable has sparked emotions ranging from delight to disappointment if not materialized. The wait for the rumoured announcement date, September 12, is fraught with expectations.
Apple’s Willingness to Bring About Change
The rumoured addition of a colour-matched braided USB-C cable with the iPhone 15 is more than a simple accessory. It speaks of Apple’s responsiveness to user complaints and its constant drive to innovate.
Whether for aesthetics, practicality, or the possible enhancement of data transfer speeds, this small detail could add significant joy to the upcoming iPhone 15 release.
