A string of rumors before the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max announcement stated that both models would feature a USB-C port that supports Thunderbolt 3 ports. Unfortunately, Apple has limited the bandwidth to 10Gbps, whereas Thunderbolt 3 has a throughput of 40Gbps. However, one tipster states that the A17 Pro powering both devices has the same USB 3 controller as the M1, meaning it should have supported Thunderbolt 3, but it appears that the feature might have been removed for various reasons.
Instead of the older USB controller present on chipsets like the A12X, A12Z, or even the A16 Bionic, ShrimpApplePro states that the A17 Pro features the same crucial hardware as the M1 that allows Thunderbolt 3 connectivity right out of the box, but for various reasons, the feature did not make it to the iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max. While the tipster mentions that having 40Gbps bandwidth support on a smartphone would be overkill, there are certain use cases where the increased speeds can prove beneficial.
However, adding Thunderbolt 3 support would no doubt increase cost, and seeing as how Apple already incorporated a boatload of upgrades to the iPhone 15 Pro while keeping the same $999 starting price, bringing another feature would likely have forced Apple to charge customers more. This year, only the iPhone 15 Pro Max is $100 more expensive, but even then, you are getting double the internal storage, the exclusive tetraprism camera, and more, making it a decent value proposition, at least according to some.
Well what happened to Thunderbolt on iPhone 15 Pro Max you asked ?
Well from what i saw, it turns out the hardware of the phone including the A17 Pro SoC support up to USB4 and Thunderbolt 3
But it was off for various reasons.
And we only get 3.2 gen 2x1 10Gbps

Bethesda's former design director thinks The Elder Scrolls 6 will keep The Elder Scroll 5: Skyrim's levelling up and progression system.
The Elder Scrolls 6, as nebulous as it might feel, is eventually coming, and Bethesda’s former design director has shared some tidbits on what could be carried over from previous games, including Skyrim’s progression and magic systems.
Divergent fans may still be salty that the franchise was never fully wrapped on on the big screen, but author Veronica Roth is more than okay with it. In fact, in her opinion, the adapted series "feels complete".
MediaTek is expected to announce its Dimensity 9300 sometime next week, so it was only a matter of time before the chipset was spotted in Geekbench 6’s single-core and multi-core benchmarks. While the results show that the upcoming silicon has impressive gains compared to its predecessors, even with its more powerful CPU cluster, it is unable to beat the A17 Pro.
Director has revealed his thoughts on DC‘s new direction under James Gunn and that he himself has spoken with DC Studios.
Cult of the Lamb and Wizard with a Gun publisher Devolver Digital took to X (formerly Twitter) last night to share that it had made a donation to United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) providing aid to Palestinian refugees. The publisher shared the UNRWA link and encouraged others to do the same, if they are able. The donation amount was not listed.
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of our funniest holiday traditions, a kitschy paean to commercialism that is the only place I can think of where you can find Goku, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Jolly Green Giant all in the same place, cheerily introduced by Al Roker. Part of the fun is in seeing who made the cut, and who, sadly, did not. (Someday, Vegeta…)
Super Mario Bros. Wonder's developers have confirmed that the game wasn't inspired by and has nothing to do with Illumination's Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Shadowrun and Battletech studio Harebrained Schemes have "parted ways" with Paradox Interactive - or what's left of the company have, at least. Paradox have announced that they're cutting Harebrained loose to pursue publishing opportunities elsewhere following dismal sales of the studio's latest release, swaggering 1930s-set Indiana XCOMalike The Lamplighters League. Paradox will keep ownership of The Lamplighters League and other games developed by Harebrained, though the Crusader Kings publisher have no plans for a project or sequel in the same genre.
Cyberpunk 2077 has reinvented itself following the release of numerous updates and the stellar Phantom Liberty expansion, but the big lessons learned from its rough 2020 launch are still front of mind for developer CD Projeckt Red. With current development happening on The Witcher 4 - codenamed Polaris - the developers are taking steps to ensure they won't have another troubled launch.
Your wireless carrier's internet speeds can make or break your experience with your mobile device. And while AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile all claim to have the best speeds, Ookla's Q3 2023 Speedtest Global Index study finds that one carrier clearly reigns supreme.
The A17 Pro is Apple’s first 3nm SoC found only in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and mass produced on TSMC’s next-generation architecture. Naturally, the improvements the latest silicon carries compared to the A16 Bionic is sufficient to make it costlier than the latter, but by how much? Well, according to the latest estimates, there is a 27 percent cost increase, but that is not the surprising part, as even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 announced by Qualcomm in 2022 is pricier than Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone silicon.
