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.

Wait until you hear the same Apple fans who kept repeating the iPhone is better because of the lightning port suddenly praise Apple's genius to switch to USB-C.

I can't wait to see tweets from people claiming that Apple invented the USB-C port.

Ya know what's ironic actually? They were one of the companies that helped create that standard. They just couldn't be bothered to use it as long as they could make a buck filling up landfills with their proprietary bullshit.

Yep. That's what they always do. I cannot wait for Tim Cook to be giddy about it on stage lol
