I Tried a Bunch of USB-C Accessories for the iPhone 15 Pro

- With this USB type-c port let’s try some accessories you might now be interested in for your iphone. Like external SSDs. Everyone hates running out of space on their iphone when taking pictures, and some of us don’t want to spend so much money on storage on a phone that we’ll outgrow in 3 or so years. So with an external SSD like this samsung T7 or Synology BeeDrive you can get a ton of storage without paying $500 for a TB of space. And they can be used with your ipad, mac, android, and PC too. You can offload anything you have in the “files” app on your iphone to an external drive. And if you want to send photos or videos to your external drive, just open the photos app, select the items, press the share button, then save to files and choose your external drive. Easy. External drives can also be used as a saving location for videos you take from the iphone 15 Pro or Pro Max when plugged in, which frees up some space on your phone, if you were planning to just offload the footage onto your computer anyway to edit it. Overall, I like the convenience that external ssds provide, because they’re not too big but give me space back on my iphone, ipad and Mac.

Okay. So during the Apple event they really liked highlighting the gaming potential of the iphone. They sell a lightning version for older iphones or a usb-c version for every other phone. The USB-C version supports the iphone 15 series, has the courage to add back the headphone jack and a usb-c port for passthrough charging. I can confirm all of the functionality works fine. And oh god. I’m playing this game again. Help me. The nice thing about the backbone one is that you can use it with your windows pc, mac, android tablet, or ipad by connecting to them through the usb-c port. So the backbone has been a great laying in-bed hand held controller for when I want to play ios games or remote play into a PS5. It also makes a great portable game controller for travel too.
I mentioned earlier that the usb-c port on the iphone supports doing a lot of things, and I highly recommend you get a usb-c hub of some kind that supports all the functions you need. The port can handle video, audio, charging, and data. So having something like this usb-c hub that has all those features in one, is really nice, because you can use it with your computer and tablet too. So I can plug my iphone into this, and into an hdmi cable, and have all of my screen mirrored to the monitor or TV. I can plug in SD cards and move photos and videos on or off my phone and plug in any other accessories I need and still charge it in the process too. It’s a nice little emergency tech item that works for all your devices.
Then there are a ton of magsafe accessories that can be used for all iphones starting with the 12. There are a ton of these that add a bunch of cool functionality to your iphone. To save you some time, and not repeat myself, I’ve made a video talking about all of those already. So if you’re interested in that check out the link above.
iPhones with USB-C support charging wireless earbuds and smartwatches with a usb-c cable. As if your phone was the battery bank. And I’m happy that this works for both apple and non-apple products. Airpods and Airpods pro were updated with USB-C and work seamlessly if you own a bunch of apple products. I can use mine without having to touch any settings between my Macbook pro, mac studio, iphone, and ipad. But the moment you want to use them with other devices, pairing them and changing settings can be a pain. So if you have an iphone but not a lot of other apple products, I’d look at wireless earbuds with usb-c ports that have multipoint capabilities. Like the Sony WF-1000XM5s. Multipoint enable these to pair to multiple devices and switch between them. I really like the WF-1000XM5s because you get a ton of customizability in Sony’s headphones app, and feature for feature, spec for spec, these Sony’s match up to the Airpods Pro really really well. But if you’re primarily using apple products. Airpods are the way to go. - Наука та технологія
Ngl I’m not even subbed to you, I just thought to search up this exact thing the second you uploaded 😂
Geez dude. Hope it sorts out your needs!
@@JimmyTriesWorld It did! Subbed now 👍
The USB-C really opened up the iPhone to more peripherals, I find it just so much better in real world use than lightning.
Another banger, Jimmy. Thanks for the video!
Thanks.Good info. I’m going to get the Anker 735 charger. I’d like a longer cord than what came with the 15 Pro. What cord do you recommend?
It’s a great thing that iPhone switch to type c because now i can transfer all pictures and vids to any ssd or hard disk
Love your videos man
Thanks EU 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤, and thanks for the video!
The iPhone 15 non pro has only 2.0 usb. Can you check what limitations does it have when using accessories?
The only bad thing is they didn't put thunderbolt on the pro models
I don’t think any phone has that so it’s not something I would’ve expected to begin with
Honestly, what application does Thunderbolt have for a phone? Who needs to connect their iPhone to a $5,000 external display with maximum resolution? Who needs data transfer for an entire Terabyte to take less than 13 minutes? Thunderbolt on iPhone would just make it too expensive for no good reason. It's just a shame the base model 15s are stuck with USB 2.0 specs.
Reserved for iphone 16😂
Or that it's generally Apple technology which on the highest end is like 2-3 years behind. But we won't talk about that
@@REDH3X they could've added it
I the end your paying for 999+ so I think they should have it
Great video! I never knew you could connect an SSD directly to the iPhone to save or offload photos to it. Ive been connecting it to my Macbook to do so. Absolute time saver.
It's only for the new iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max because of the new USB-C controller on the new chips
It's also for the non pro versions, but at USB 2 speeds 😊
USB C is tempting, but my 13 mini still works fine, plus i also have an iPad 9 with lightning, so i’ll wait until i have to upgrade both my iPhone and iPad.
So helpful! Thank you!
Your channel is always so unique
How’s the battery life of the 15 pro? I’m in a situation which to get, battery and size.
So I’m still on IPhone 8. I would rather get 14 pro refurbished to save money and I really just want the better camera. If I went with 15 pro sounds like I can still use my older external mics but have to get the USB C adapter? Is that right? Also in other videos I saw a lot of comments people saying the volume of headphones was low? Is that true? I’m just researching until I have to get a new phone.
I know this sounds silly because it’s available of course, but I can’t wait to get an iPhone with USB-C but it’s gonna be a few more years because I got the iPhone 14 pro on launch day, and the purple is my all time favorite, can’t part with it!
With the USB-C hubs, ensure they have a power passthrough. Not all of them do, and then the hub and peripherals will just drain your phone battery like crazy.
Does the backbone fit well with the 15 Pro Max cameras?
The iPhone 15 pro is my first iPhone. My first Apple product was a 5th gen iPod touch then I got an M1 iPad Pro then an Apple TV.
i m going to buy iphone 15promax. so would like to is it safe to use green 65w nexode adapter for charging or I shall only use apple adapter ?
I'm upgrading from the regular 11 to the 15 Pro if they think its good, its a $200 credit most likely to my Apple card since I put that as the payment method. I'm buying it outright and unlocked since I'm on prepaid. Both my 11 and the 15 Pro are 128 GB. I have a USB male to female adaptor and 2 thumbdrives both in 32GB and a bunch of SD cards and at least 1 adaptor. I have at least 2 SD cards in 64 GB. As far as ICloud, right now I have it in 50GB and of course, an adaptor to read hard drives to get my IPhone pictures and videos off my IPhone and shockingly, I still use Itunes ot backup my phone.
I need help.🙏 I’ve had an iPhone 15 Plus for a week now & the only thing that’s worked to charge it is a foot-long cable that came with my cheap earbuds, plugged into a power bar. I bought an adapter from usb c to usb a so I could plug in the apple cable into the power bar, but it doesn’t charge. I bought a cheap 10’ usb c to usb a cable to plug in the power bar, that doesn’t charge. So I’m stuck with just a 1 foot cable. Not ideal.
I didn’t know that I needed to be careful about the specs of the cable that I bought. What do I need to look for? I need a 10’ cable just for charging. Then, do I also need certain specs on the adapter too? I need one to plug into my car for music & charging.
I know I’m a little behind on my tech knowledge but I’m a quick learner!😁 Any help you could give, seriously, would be really appreciated. I’m looking all over the place for the info and I can’t find anything referencing required specs. I’m only seeing 20W if I want extra fast charging. 🤷🏻♀️
PLEASE HELP: I HAVE THE OLD MAGSAFE CHARGER, SHOULD I BUT THE NEW USB-C MAGSAFE CHARGER IN ORDER FOR THE IPHONE 15 PRO MAX TO CHARGE FASTER?
i try to connect it using the one i use for my s23 ultra to the tv but it shows the dynamic island, how do you get yours to not show up?
Half my usb c cables wouldn't stay in the iphone 15 pro max i bought and car play would keep disconnecting constantly. I returned mine because i didnt feel like even trying. The port was either loose or they want the apple cable being used.
The Gamesir X2 does not seem to work with the iphone 15 pro, do you know why that is? Is the controller like hard encoded to just android devices or something? Any response is appreciated
I have de iPhone 15 pro and I'm trying to use Hyperx Duocast Mic in it, but it does not recognize it as a Mic. Only as Headphones
Hi there. Wondering if you have tested using a direct cable transfer from an iPhone 14 pro (basically lightning port models) to the new usb c iPhone 15 model ? Presently, there’s a usbc cam 3 adapter but not sure how it’s going to work for the new usb c interface. Use a lightning to usb c dongle converter ?
Or can we use a usb c to lightning cable (given by Apple) for the direct phone to phone transfer between an iPhone 14 (or earlier model) to new iPhone 15 and 15 pro? This is on the back of poor wifi and not having to painfully wait for iCloud download as there’s quite a fair bit of data to be transferred (270gb) from the older iphome.
Getting thunderbolt 4 cables would be future-proofing though. Plus you can use em for many other things and it will likely support it
Sounds like that’s the best bet.
The USB-C hub thing is honestly super cool. Thanks for this video!
While I am somewhat excited for usb-c on the iPhone, I don't feel like the 15 is a big enough leap forward to make me upgrade from my 12 pro max. Maybe if they release make it thunderbolt or some other feature to help seal the deal.
Which usbc cable would you recommend for the iPhone 15 pro?
Thank you EU!
My problem is I have a separate cable for each device since they are in different rooms like my AirPods are in my kitchen, different locations for phone chargers, etc. so I still have to buy all new cables
You might want to consider MagSafe accessories as well! So both your old lightning stuff and the new phone can still charge off the same charger.
I disagree about Thunderbolt cables. Yes they are more expensive (tip, buy budget TB cables) but their spec is their spec and you know what you’re getting. Many USB-C cables are sold with misleading information of what they’re capable of, and many hide details about their specs on their product pages
ELGATO HD 60 FOR SCREEN SHARING AND STREAMING ON OBS WITH 15 PLUS AND 15 PRO MAX DO ELGATO SUPPORT APPLE USB 2.0 AND 3.0
I absolutely love your content. Insanely informative.
I hate people saying that using one cable is a “benefit”
I don’t want to charge each device one by one 😂
Anybody else having trouble getting usb c splitter (aux and power) to work on iPhone? It works no problem on my iPad Pro.
I love the switch to Type C, but damn, my airpods and battery pack still need to be charged via Lightning
i cannot get my usbc capture card to use my iphone as a monitor, as i did on my S22
I don’t get the argument about buying new cables. The whole reason of the move is to standardize it and I don’t expect there are many people out there that don’t already have multiple usb c cables because of other devices. I’m glad it happened because I now only need one type of charging cable when I travel.
I made a new account and forgot the name of your channel, took me a while to find you again dude!
keyboard and mouse gaming on iphone?
Watching these usb-c iPhone related videos is like watching children on their first day of going outside their homes and discovering things that didn't exist in their homes. It's so nice seeing them grow up and adapt to things around them that they didn't know existed.
You do know that android phones even with type c can’t do most of the shit that iphone is able to do here, do you?
@@whyzi6143 So far I've only seen the video recording going directly into external storage. Can you enumerate others to enlighten me?
Hi. I have an iPhone 15 pro and I'm wondering how to connect it to a Windows desktop computer via USB A. There is no dedicated Apple cable and Thunderbold 4 also has a small USB C input
You’d buy a USB C to USB A cable
but if I decide to use Thunderbolt 4 Pro, I will need an adapter and I wonder if it will work. I could just as easily use the cable I have in the box and connect it via a USB-A USB-C 3.2 adapter. Will this work?
Does USB-C speakphone work with it? I need wired speakerphone for iphone (not Bluetooth).
of course
the way you expand the use of UsB to make it look like the iphone made a new leap forward 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The best thing today was just grabbing a random tv that had hdmi to usb c and just hooked it up to watch this video😭😭
I was looking for the most ridiculous thing I could find to try. Well digging through my old stuff I found a USB-B Zip drive, yes the 100mb Zip drive, guess what IT WORKS! HA love it!
Ok so what cable actually works in full capacity. That’s all that matters and it was never mentioned from your testing!
Thunderbolt would be the best but I think they are saving that for iPhone 16 Ultra
Why would you want Thunderbolt on such a device though?
@@tonylancer7367 Thunderbolt will give much faster transfer speed like 40gb. I can hook up to a monitor similar to a Dex. Plus I want to edits straight from my SSD without any problems.
@@tonylancer7367why would you want a folding phone which inner display goes black and the screen protector lifts up after a year
No, charging that fast ruins the longevity of the battery. Why do you think Apple hasn't adopted fast charging yet?
@@srobeck77 apple known for slowing phones down so people buy new im shocked they haven't so people get new battery's they are always late tbh
@ me playing Genshin Impact getting ready to pull for Raiden rerun!!!
You know what would be a great invention a SSD with MagSafe so that way we don’t have tape it on
¿Te preguntas porque no hizo apple el usb-c?, da las gracias a Europa, que les ha obligado.
I have thunderbolt devices, I don't want to have to worry if I'm grabbing the right USB-C cable, so I'd rather spend a little extra to make sure all my cables are TB3/4 and can do at least 100W
Totally disagree with your recommendation of staying away from thunderbolt 3/4 cables. Thunderbolt 4 designation is the easiest way to know you are getting every feature in the cable you need to maximize your investment in the interface. It automatically support usb4 and everything below it, and will hel😊 you get the most out of your Mac. The Only down side is the cost. I get thunderbolt 4 for data cables and much cheaper usbc cables for charging where high speed charging is not required.
Apple allowing standard accessories on a standard port on an iPhone? This is so unlike apple, are they okay?
They most of these features on their iPads for a few years now. It's been a week, but it's still weird plugging in an iPhone to a usb-c charger or monitor 😅
@@JimmyTriesWorld i hear u man, we been so beaten down by bullshi* rules what we can/can't do with our devices that even a little sensible change makes us feel weird
Seems like I'm watching a review on an old Galaxy with type c capabilities. Samsungs been doing all this for years.
the Backbone subscription is garbage. I can just get a clip for my phone like you mentioned
Now you can turn it into a mini pc now that you can connect a usb-c hub. iPads are going to take a hit.
very few out there use hubs, doubt it will make any impact
Honestly the transition to USB C didn’t hurt me as much since I own a MacBook Air, iPad Pro, all 3 game consoles, and peripherals. Plus I prefer USB C due to the convenience.
that was the whole point, lol

Kudos to the UE Union for forcing usb-c. Next up, they need to force Apple to make imessages compatible with android.
My android phone doesn't have USB-C
i don’t like the fact that you need a subscription AGAIN!!
Apple should had make usb type c only work from apple, any other adapter would not work on iphone
even iphone is going android bwahahahahahahhahahah
samsung dex is wireless bwahahahhahahahahahahah and its doesnt get as hot as my oven
running out of space?? bwaahahahhahahahhahahahahhahaha
I'm happy that iPhone finally made it to USB-C family, but the reason I am a bit sad is because I don't like sharing my charging cable, so if anyone ask me if I had a charger for an Android user, I was always happy to say "Sorry bruh.. iPhone here" 😂
Buy a cable you like then a cheap cable that you don’t care about thats the one you share…
That is what I am doing. Giving them a cheap cable
U can still lie if you are too selfish to share. Just say u have an older iphone. Or switch to a magsafe charger
Apple didn´t took the opportunity to switch to USB-C, they were forced to. Otherwise they would have left Lightning for a free more years.
Thank you EU :D
While android got 120 w charging type c devices Apple users are boasting about type c as if it is a new discovery. 😂
No such thing as an android phone that charges with 120w. That would absolutely destroy the longevity of a small phone battery.
I'm sure Apple doesn't like a little bit that USB-C dongles and accessories work on their products, it's like heresy to them. Thanks EU for not letting your guard down on that legislation. Luckily, I transitioned to magsafe early, so the only Lightning cables I have are 2 in my car.
I feel so bad for apple users. This is really hard for them 😢
i dont buy 3rd party accessories i buy everything from apple
He called it a USB c cable it's not a USB c cable it's an Android no iPhone user can call it a iPhone charger it's an Android charger
Guys, please, it’s not the charger! Apple’s chargers have been USB C for years. It’s JUST the cable.
its the port on the iphone that is now usb-c
@@srobeck77 the point is that people keep saying iPhones can’t use USB C chargers when it’s just the cable. Yes, now it’s USB C.
@@melgross u over thought this one. Ive never heard anyone say anythign about "usb-c chargers". Its a usb-c cable or lightning cable. Theres no such thing as a "lightning charger". Always been in reference to the cable or the port type on the phone.
@@srobeck77 I’m not overthinking it. It’s just a cable. A lightning cable to USB C. No big deal.
who the hell use just one cable?
As an Android user, I hope they don't drive up the cost of USB C chargers.
What a shock usb c devices work on a usb port. Click bait video.
