The cable is only USB-2, regardless of iPhone 15 or 15 Pro. But that won’t affect those charging speeds, it will charge at the max with a 27w or 30w charger. USB-2 only affects data transfer.
Yes the included cable supports 27W all the way up to 60W if they ever decide to update the charging speed on future iPhones.
Yes, the most basic USB-C spec supports 60W. This means the even cheapest $3 USB-C cable will support 60W and USB 2.0 speed.
The cable in the box supports fast charging but not fast data speeds. It's limited to USB2 480Mbps throughput. Tight Apple or what?
What exactly do you need faster data speeds? Is that just transferring data from a iPhone to Mac? Just curious bc I bought that $75 one and I think ima return. I never plug in my phone to my Mac
If you have a MacBook Pro you could always plug the cable into that power adaptor which is capable of 87 watts and see if there is any increase in phone charge speed.
https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MQLN3AM/A/70w-usb-c-power-adapter This new 70 watt charger from Apple should be able to charge the phones at the max speed with the new cable. Apple lists the only compatible phones for this being the 15 models......
As already said the included Cable support 60w.
USB-C Specification is minimum 60W (3A/20V). That is the minimum requirement. And these can or can not have an eMarker Chip. All USB-C Cables with 100w (5A/20V) are required to have an eMarker Chip. Also 100w cables can only have USB 2.0 Standard with slow Data Transfer Speed of 480Mbps.
