The USB-C port on the iPhone 15 and 16 models can now deliver up to 4.5W of power to charge your AirPods , Apple Watch , or even a friend’s Android phone.

You can also use the port to connect a compatible flash drive to your iPhone using the built-in Files app.

Photographers and videographers love the handy SD card slots on board the newest MacBook Pro and Mac Studio .

Belkin ’s USB-C to Ethernet Adapter is one of the solid options that is guaranteed to get the job done.

The biggest detriment of the iPhone is that there's just one port, but a USB hub can give you much more.

We recommend the Plugable 7-in-1 USB-c Hub Multiport Adapter , which will bring a headphone jack, USB C charging, HDMI, an SD card reader, ethernet, and even a couple of USB-A ports.
