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.

Maybe they won't even announce it.

I think they're going to hint at it for a few seconds and very quickly move on. I wonder how it's going to affect MFI products though

They wanted to software-limit non-MFI usb cables, not sure if the EU will stop them in time.

They already stopped them ... the EU law that mandetes the USB-C conenctor also mandates support of USB-PD if the device supports fast charging.

But that still won't affect 3rd party accessories other than just chargers.

Iirc the EU said it was expected to have feature parity between apple and non apple cables.

Also, if they did that, it would be a characteristic that makes iphones look worse than android. Just imagine being an iphone owner needing a charger and your friend hands you their fast charging android one only for it to be slow as piss for you right after they spent 10 minutes getting 40% charge.
