According to the leaker Majun Buwho has already shared details about new cables from Apple, the USB-C cables that come in iPhone 15 cases are indeed limited to USB 2.0 data transfer speeds at 480Mbps, which is the same than Lightning.

On the other hand, rumors converge on the two iPhone 15 Pro models supporting higher USB-C transfer speeds.

With higher data transfer speed, iPhone 15 Pro models will therefore be able to transfer videos and other file types much faster than iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

Every iPhone 15 will include a braided USB-C charging cable in the box that is thicker (i.e. more durable) and 50% longer than the Lightning cable that comes with current iPhone models, according to reports.
