USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked images - Macworld (www.macworld.com)

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.

Not sure how a leaked photo can 'confirm' anything but good news regardless

though Apple is expected to adopt curved edges for the first time since the iPhone 11.

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.

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.

I’m still surprised they didn’t just go MagSafe only for non pro models.

I bet it's USB 2.0. Sidenote: DAE hate all cloud transfer options/nearby share/airdrop and just plug in a good old cable like me any time they need to transfer stuff lol?

God I waited. I was tempted to go for the 14, but suspected the 15 would have usb c. This will be a tidy upgrade from my 12 Pro.
