🚨 UPDATE on audio interfaces: I connected a Focusrite Vocaster two via USB-C, it turns on and is recognized by Ferrite on the iPhone. So it seems the power needs of an audio interface will determine whether you can use it directly with the iPhone 15 Pro.

[@scj643]

You could just use a powered hub and plug your device into that

[@acaaew]

That is what was driving me insane in your video. You most likely already have the solution which is to use the powered USB C switch you were using at the start of the video. No shit a lot of those devices didn’t work since the port on the phone can only put out 4.5 watts.

[@charlschuck6]

Whats the max input charging wattage and is the 15/15max pro different ? What’s the max output video output frames per second and is it 720,1080 or 4K? Does garage band work for touch pads or any instrument with or without type c external power .? Is the audio louder on earpeace and regular videos any better or louder than the iPhone 12-14?

[@ChannelTwentyTwo]

Can you plug a digital piano into the iPhone 15 Pro via USB-B to USB-C cable? So that I can use Voice Memos to record myself playing piano digitally

[@RetroBoxRoom]

The same is most likely true for the webcam, where as the Elgato HD60S(+) most likely doesn't work, because it needs drivers. Where I'd bet that an Elgato CamLink (4K) would work with a powered hub(?).

[@beardfm]

🚨 LATEST UPDATE: What works and what doesn't via USB-C - USB Keyboard works, even through hub ✅ - Mouse does work via Bluetooth and Accessibility Touch - External SSD ProRes video recording works through hub ✅ - iPhone CAN POWER THE STUDIO DISPLAY 🤯 - Webcam does not work, even if plugged into a powered hub 🚫 - USB mic can be plugged into a hub and still works ✅ - Some audio interfaces will work through hub or direct, like the Focusrite Vocaster ✅

[@TheAfroman]

Awesome came here to ask about a powered hub for the ones that didn’t work..awesome

[@AxelPironio]

[@cuve_ae]

Incredible, the studio display connection & power is badass ngl. I want to see if the belkin rock star adapter can let you run a usb c SSD & 3.5mm external microphone.

[@mzdial]

With the Samsung flash drive that you featured work at Prores 4k60? I ask because I'm seeing that you need a write speed data rate of 200mb/s and it looks like that flash drive only does 120-130mb/s. It looked like in your video you did 4k30.

[@JimBarnes05]

Thanks for the continued updates! I was curious if the ATEM Mini would show up as a webcam via its USB-C since it has external power.

[@Buzzsprout]

Bummer that it couldn't power the audio interface, but I could see myself using the USB port to power a USB mic. Great video!

[@beardfm]

Yeah, maybe the 16 Pro will get Thunderbolt 😉

[@tech4now_]

@@beardfmwhat if the interface has a power source?

[@slytechnical]

My presonus audio box 96 worked fine

[@adriftatlas]

I doubt it. The Thunderbolt 3/4 specification requires a port to supply 15W of power. The USB4 spec requires 7.5W. And USB 3.2 requires 4.5W. While I can see them upping it to 7.5W and giving us USB4, I doubt they'd go for 15W with such a small battery.@@beardfm

[@Tomzzzzzz]

Great stuff. Very cool that a USB hub can do all that including Ethernet! Do you know if any external SSD's allow for the 10Gb/s transfer speed available on the 15 Pro/Max or is that limited to laptop interfaces? Most external SSD's seem to tap out at around 1,000Mb/s with a few at 2000Mbs.

[@wandrs]

External SSD speeds are at 1000MB/s which is approximately 8Gbps. So, you will be better off with any of those.

[@slickvibez16]

If I had to guess, the webcam would work if you the iPhone gets simultaneous power delivery. Try connecting webcam through the USB C dock + power. These are similar issues I’ve faced with lightning connector accessories with iPad mini 5

[@CallmeJeffy1]

I heard the USB Type C on the new iphones are only Type C 2.0, apparently limiting data transfer speeds to under 500 megabytes.

[@Tomzzzzzz]

On iPhone 15 Pro models the USB-C port supports faster USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds of up to 10Gb/s, provided you're using the right cable. Regular 15 and 15 Plus only support USB 2.@@CallmeJeffy1

Hi Stephen! Maybe the webcams and audio interfaces would work with a usb c hub connected to power? I’m super curious to know if this works.

[@AmirXL]

Very enjoyable and informative video thank you!. Generally curious if you would consider doing a video on usb 3.0 transfer speeds? I haven't seen any videos on it so far aside from ssds and video recording. I tried using a usb 3.0 10gb cable to restore a backup from itunes and it was still 50 min to restore. Checked cpu usb headers to make sure it's usb 3.0 and confirmed the cable was working but still was so slow. I haven't tried video but I guess this leads into does it even worth with itunes for data transfer speeds or only videos and ssds in general?

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

This video is gold! Storage is an issue for me. I will try this on my iPad.

My main work flow for the iPhone is in recording the pro res videos to the drive and storing photos on the drive from iCloud after editing them. Having usb c on my iPad Pro made my workflow so much easier than the lightening iPad I had before. Having usb c on the iPhone will definitely make it easier to use my phone on shoots by directly recording to the drive and editing later when in DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.

This is a great video and I'm glad to see the excitement around it. Funny though that many of these peripherals have been supported for years now (Lightning and even some back to 30pin days). iOS has had generic drivers for things like Keyboard and Ethernet for many years.

Yep, the iPhone has been more limited by the USB 2 speeds than the connector type. The iPad Pro had USB 3 over lightning and most of this stuff worked back then.

I tried a USB mixer on my new iPhone after you said it didn't work for you, and it worked for me, I did have to power the mixer separately, but the stereo phantom powered binaural mics worked well. I'm quite impressed with the new phone, an external SSD works on the iPhone 15 pro max, but not the iPhone 14 pro max! Must be something to do with the connectors?

[@beardfm]

Yes I’ve found different audio interfaces will work! The Vocaster Two works in my testing. And the 14 Pro didn’t have USB 3.0 speeds from the port, I think that’s a big reason why.
