What iPhone use case would this much bandwidth be useful for?
- scrlk 3y agoQuickly transferring high resolution ProRes videos?

- wlesieutre 3y agoImporting 4K ProRes video for editing on a computer?
- gessha 3y agoI feel that's a bit overkill. From practical perspective, how often would you be downloading 4K ProRes from your phone vs sharing a lower res version? Unless Apple are setting up for something related to Vision Pro I don't know if it's useful to include this on their phones. A regular USB-C connection would suffice for occasional backup.
- least 3y agoiPhones are used for professional videography, so for those people, all the time.
- wlesieutre 3y agoJust announced that the 15 Pro can record directly to external storage
- xattt 3y agoMonitoring 8K output from a Pro model.
- jxramos 3y agopossibly using the iPhone as a camera on a macbook I'd think. Also locally backing up an iOS device to a desktop with speed.
- ethanbond 3y agoYou can do the camera thing today over wifi though
- rsynnott 3y ago40Gbit/sec should be quite enough for a _camera_.
- Kirby64 3y agoiPhone camera has absolutely no need for 80 or 120Gbit for webcam usage. It works just fine even with standard USB2 bandwidth. Backups maybe, but I suspect you're going to be limited by the speed of the storage on both sides. Existing thunderbolt 3 already supports 40 gigabit/s. Not much storage, even apples storage, supports 5000MB/s read/write except for very short periods of time.
- sgerenser 3y agoRumors are the iPhone 15 Pro will have Thunderbolt, but it's not going to be 5. Probably Thunderbolt 4, although 3 would be plenty if there was some reason (lower power?) to use that over 4.
