USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked part images

Time to toss your Lightning cables.

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.

      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.

          Yeah, I’m sure it is great for a situation like that. When I worked from home I’d use it pretty much all day while charging on a dock, like, 100% screen on time. It caused the battery to swell up and pop the back glass off though, so I don’t do that anymore.

        Given how frequently something gets stuck in the port or it gets slightly damp and refuses to charge, I won’t go on travel without a wireless charger. The only time I plug in is if I’m charging from an external battery.

      iirc the new EU law that apple is responding to doesn’t say that a mobile device can’t have a proprietary port, rather it says that a mobile device must have a USB-C port for charging. But i might be wrong about that.

        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.
