You can charge other Apple products: iPhone 15 can help you charge special Apple devices like the AirPods and the Apple Watch. Although Apple doesn't say it precisely, the iPhone 15 series' USB C connector supports reverse wired charging, just like iPads do.

Fast data transfers: The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max's USB 3.2 standard enables data transfer rates of up to 10Gbps. You would need to shell out a little extra money to get this appropriate cable because Apple only includes a USB C 2.0 cable in the package.

Other features: Connect external speaker, connect external display and more. It has been questioned if a Made for iPhone/iPad (MFi) cable is required to securely charge the iPhone while utilising third-party USB-C cables to charge the iPhone 15 models. The fact that no special cable is mentioned for charging iPhones is excellent news for many.
