The iPhone 15 has a feature that allows it to connect to multiple devices and can also power the Apple Watch and AirPods.
Apple's iPhone 15 generation has revolutionized the third-party accessory market. From gaming controllers to microphones, the switch from Lightning to USB-C has opened up new possibilities for Apple's smartphone.
One of the most exciting features of the iPhone 15 is the ability to use your iPhone to charge your Apple Watch or AirPods, if you want. Here's everything you need to know if you want to charge other Apple devices with your iPhone, according to BGR.
While it doesn’t matter which version of the Apple Watch you have, you do need to have an iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, or iPhone 15 Pro Max. Right now, these are the only iPhones that can charge an Apple Watch. However, when the iPhone 16 comes out, it’s safe to assume that the new iPhones will do the same.
Additionally, you need to have enough battery on your iPhone to charge your Apple Watch, as Apple always prioritizes the iPhone battery. Here are the steps to charge your Apple Watch using your iPhone:
- With iPhone 15, you need an Apple Watch charging cable with a USB-C connector
- Connect the USB-C cable to the iPhone charging port
- Place your Apple Watch on the other end of the charger
While the standard iPhone 15 models don’t have the fastest USB-C port available, both the regular and Pro models can charge the Apple Watch at the same speed. According to Apple, you can charge any small device that supports USB Power Delivery at up to 4.5 watts or devices with a Lightning connector, like older iPhone models.
In addition, the iPhone 15's USB-C port is also compatible with other connection standards to perform a variety of features such as:
- Audio output: If you need to output audio through the USB-C connector to other speakers or headphones, you can connect using a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack or lightning adapter cable.
- Connect to an external display: You can connect iPhone to an external display using the USB-C connector so you can watch videos, view photos, and more on a larger screen. Depending on the display you're connecting to, an adapter may be required. iPhone uses the DisplayPort protocol to support connections to USB-C displays at up to 4K resolution and 60Hz. You can also connect iPhone to an HDMI display or TV using a USB-C to HDMI cable or adapter. HDMI 2.0-enabled adapters and cables can output video from your iPhone at 4K resolution.
- The iPhone 15's USB-C port also works with Apple CarPlay-compatible car chargers, portable storage devices, microphones, or USB-to-Ethernet adapters.
Although the iPhone 14 does not have a new and unique design like the iPhone 15, it is still a model with a beautiful design and performance that can be used for a long time in the next 3 years without worrying about being outdated.
The excellence of the iPhone 15 has pushed the price of the iPhone 14 to a record low. Currently, users can buy a new iPhone 14 for VND 17.6 million for the 128GB version or a used one for VND 14.9 million.
The iPhone 14 is the most complete iPhone with a notch because the model, along with the 14 Plus, are the last iPhones to feature a notch screen. This type of screen is not as unique as the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 15, but it is very good and has few errors. In particular, the part containing FaceID and the front camera is greatly reduced, helping to expand the display space much more than the notch screen on the iPhone 12.
The iPhone 14 camera has a diagonally arranged module design similar to the iPhone 13 but is slightly larger in size. Thanks to that, the iPhone 14 has a huge difference in the market and creates a unique class for the owner. Along with that, the iPhone 14 also comes with up to 5 colors for users to freely choose to express their own personality.
Regardless of its identical appearance to the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 also uses the A15 Bionic chip like the iPhone 13. The key point is that this chip has an additional GPU core to help the device process graphics better. This also means that the iPhone 14 is as powerful as the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Compared to the iPhone 13, the battery life of the iPhone 14 has also been significantly improved despite not increasing the capacity compared to the previous generation. The device can be used for up to 20 hours when watching videos.
