We’ve known that the iPhone is switching to USB-C for a while now, but there was always a possibility that Apple would stick with Lightning for one more year. Based on the latest leaked images, however, Apple is all-in on USB-C for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, with USB-C parts for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max all shown in a leaked image by X user fix Apple.
With the switch to USB-C, nearly all of Apple’s devices will have adopted the new standard, with only AirPods, Mac accessories, and the iPhone SE remaining aside from older iPhones and the 9th-gen iPad.
I’m really curious how apple will present that on stage. If they say anything positive about the change everyone will ask why they didn’t do it sooner. But they also can’t just not say anything about it
Remember the HUGE charging cable that used to be the standard for iPods? When Apple switched to the Lightning Cable from that people were pissed because they had all these accessories/stereos/etc. that wouldn’t be compatible anymore. Apple promised they wouldn’t change it up again and would stick with lightning for 10 years. That 10 years is up. So really they’re basically just sticking to their word.
