The absolute advantages of a USB Type C Charging Cable are clear, such as support for up to 100W of fast charge, and a wide range of compatible protocols, with transfer rates up to 40GB/s. However, Apple's Lightning technology is old, with high delay, shameful charging speed and poor compatibility, because only Apple's devices have this interface, so it needs to buy an extension dock to realize more functions.
According to the current reviews of the iPhone 14 series models, the iPhone 14 with Lightning port only has a USB2.0 speed, which means the maximum transmission speed is only 480Mbps. It would take a long time for a photographer to use a Lightning cable to transfer full-resolution 48 megapixel ProRAW photos to a Mac or other device.
In particular, the iPhone 14 Pro series supports the shooting of 48 megapixel ProRAW photos. The volume of a photo is up to 100 megabits, which poses a huge challenge to the physical transmission of the interface. Apple recommends using iCloud to access ProRAW files on a Mac or other Apple device, or AirDrop to send photos wirelessly to other devices, but Lightning remains a bottleneck anyway.
