Welcome to iMore! The Apple OEM lightning cable is only USB 2.0 compliant so you probably won't see any noticeable improvement plugging it into a USB 3.0 port.

I don't use a lightning cable but can you plug it directly into the lighting port as opposed to USB?

The lightning cable is what plugs into your iPhone to charge it. Are you possibly confusing it with the thunderbolt port on Macs?
