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’ll start saving up then. Still on the XS max but this is finally worth the upgrade.

One year early, so they can make a big deal about proprietary restrictions if you don't use Apple accessories, which won't be the case the following year with no mention.

This is the one iPhone left that they can do anything they want regarding USB-C, without being under the new law as it won't be in place yet and won't apply to product SKU's that were released prior.
