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 genuinely surprised Apple didn’t opt for the portless option. With wireless charging, wireless iCloud backup and wireless connections to macOS you don’t actually need a port on the phone.

    I’ve had a 12 Pro Max for almost 3 years and I’ve have never plugged anything into it.

      Wireless charging is a pretty bad option for a sole charging source though, it is highly inefficient and heats up the phone more than using a wire. My last phone actually had issues from overheating because I used it a lot while on a wireless charging dock.

        Just let people enjoy what they like. Not everyone cares about the same things and that is okay. And I’m using a Pixel 3, before you start making accusations.

        Also there are no downvotes on Beehaw.

          Unilem lets me downvote. Not sure what to tell you there. I’m not even sure what comment I meant to reply to before, but it seems like it wasn’t yours. My bad.

            Don’t know what unilem is, but a lot of apps will show the button even though it gets blocked on the backend.
