The iPhone 15 series made headlines for using a USB-C port instead of the Lightning port that had been standard for more than a decade. Thanks to the advantages of USB-C technology, iPhone 15 users can now benefit from accessories that improve productivity in business and personal applications. Some USB-C devices will not work with the iPhone 15, or may have limitations, so learn more below about accessories that perform well! Multiport Connectivity for your Apple iPhone 15 Add multiport connectivity, including a conference speakerphone The inclusion of a USB-C port opens a whole new world of connectivity options for iPhone 15 users. With a multiport adapter users can connect an external display, transfer videos to storage media, or even create a highly portable speakerphone setup. The StarTech.com USB-C Speakerphone Docking Station pairs well with the iPhone 15 for hybrid travel use between the office, shared workspaces, huddle and boardrooms & work-from-home (WFH) virtual meetings. The compact dock delivers distortion-free high-definition audio, while capturing voices using the dual-omnidirectional microphones with echo cancellation and noise reduction. Since the iPhone 15 only provides up to 4.5W out from the USB-C port, multiport adapters require an external power source (via Power Delivery (PD) pass-though) for external display or USB data transfer to function correctly. This can be achieved using an external USB-C wall charger like our 30W USB-C Wall Charger (see last section below). Speakerphone capabilities alone will work with only the phone connected, for the ultimate in portability. Other multiport adapters are available and compatible with the iPhone 15, such the USB-C Multiport Adapter 4K 60Hz HDMI/GbE that includes SD and microSD card readers and supports an HDMI external display up to 4K 60Hz when connected to a USB-C power adapter. iPhone Compatible USB-C Charging Cables and Adapters Maximize file transfer speeds (iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max) The new USB-C port on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max bring the first support for USB 3 on an iPhone. Data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps mean file transfers can be up to 20x faster than before. However, there is one caveat: the USB-C cable included with these phones only supports the much slower USB 2.0 standard. If you want to realize the full data transfer capabilities of your iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max in professional applications, a high performance 10Gbps USB-IF Certified cable is the ideal solution. Allowing up to 10Gbps data transfer (5Gbps on 6’ and adapter versions), fast charging for your iPhone 15, and even external display connectivity, StarTech.com USB-C cables have gone through rigorous compliance testing and feature a long lasting flexible TPE jacket and strain relief to ensure reliability: 20" (50cm) USB C Cable (10Gbps) - USB31CCV50CM 3ft (1m) USB C Cable (10Gbps) - USB31CCV1M 6ft (2m) USB C Cable (5Gbps) - USB315CCV2M USB-C to USB Adapter Converter (5Gbps) - USB31CAADP It’s important to keep in mind the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus (so not the 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max models) only have a USB 2.0 capable USB-C port, so can’t take advantage of the faster data transfer speeds, even with a different cable.

Power Wall adapter for rapid charging Many of us charge our phones overnight when charging speed isn’t a significant concern.

This versatile charger features over-voltage protection, over-current protection, over-temperature protection, and UL Listed components.
