    "At least three iPhone 15 models will incorporate Thunderbolt
    USB4's 40Gbps high-speed data transmission feature...

    For context, until now, all iPhone models have been limited to USB 2.0
    speeds (480 megabits per second) while Thunderbolt 4's 40Gbps performance
    is the equivalent of 40,000 megabits per second. It's a stratospheric
    upgrade...

    Thunderbolt's ability to deliver more power could also translate to
    quicker charging times for users - an area where iPhones have lagged
    behind Android rivals for years."

    With limited real world use as most data transfers to/from iPhones is
    over WiFi or BT.

    No thanks - I'd prefer not cooking my battery. Hopefully my old 5W
    chargers will do the job and prevent battery abuse.
