How many expansion docks are needed for iPhone 15 live streaming?
The iPhone 15’s USB-C port opens up more options for live streaming setups. Here’s a detailed guide on choosing the right docking station based on your streaming needs.
1. Basic Live Streaming (Single Host, Simple Setup)
Required Ports:
- USB-C PD Charging (30W+) – Prevents battery drain during long streams.
- HDMI (4K 60Hz) – Connect to a capture card or external display (iPhone 15 Pro supports desktop mode).
- USB-A/USB-C (Data) – For microphones, audio interfaces, or webcams (e.g., Rode Wireless Go II).
Recommended Dock:
✅ Y-EARYKOOR 8-in-1 (USB-C)
- Ports: 4K HDMI, 100W PD, 2× USB-A 3.0, SD/TF card slots
- Best for: Compact, portable streaming
2. Professional Streaming (Multi-Device, High Quality)
Required Ports:
- USB-C PD (60W+) – Essential for long sessions.
- HDMI 2.0 (4K 60Hz) – Paired with a capture card (e.g., Elgato Cam Link 4K).
- Dual USB 3.0+ Ports – For mic, camera, or Ethernet adapter.
- 3.5mm Audio Jack – Real-time monitoring or XLR mic support.
- Gigabit Ethernet (Optional) – Wired connection for stability.
Recommended Docks:
✅ Y-EARYKOOR (Thunderbolt 4)

4. Key Considerations
✔ iPhone 15 Non-Pro Models – Limited to USB 2.0 speeds (avoid bandwidth-heavy setups).
