Apple’s tech specs for both the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro have revealed that an adapter is no longer required to connect the devices to a monitor — and that monitor can display up to 4K HDR at 60Hz.

Previously, connecting a monitor to an iPhone required a Lightning to HDMI adapter of some sort, and was limited to 1080P video, or AirPlay to a compatible device in some cases. The addition of USB-C to both units has upgraded this compatibility greatly.
