USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked images - Macworld
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Watch them roll with the most barebones feature set possible just so they can point and say, "see, lightning was obviously better!"
There's no point for Apple to self sabotage like that. Why make your new shiny $1500 phone look bad just to praise a discontinued products? Switching back to Lightning is impossible. Better to just move on with it and because it's Apple, they will more likely to pull some bullshit like "Reinventing USB-C" or "The Best USB-C in the world".
Apple would rather just ditch all physical ports and move to 100% wireless than praising Lightning over USB-C.
Remember that this is Apple, the company which has already been crippling its phones with lightning for the past decade(?). Although you're probably right about them just going with whatever and then marketing the crap out of it.
As for ditching all physical ports, I was honestly thinking that'd probably be the road they'd go just to spite the EU. Oh well, I guess there's always next gen?
iPad Pro (2020 model onwards if I recall correctly) already uses USB type C already so it shouldn't be any different.
I could charge my android phone with it for example and in couple occasions I have done so.
Honestly, the fact that apple used usb-c on it's "pro" iPads but not the regular iPad is all the proof we need that even apple thinks usb-c is better
It's likely more to do with the iPad Pro architecture being essentially the same as a MacBooks. Makes it easier to produce multiple devices based on the same components. But they kept Lightning on the cheaper devices because the people using them are less likely to care how they (very infrequently) plug stuff in.
Not gonna happen.
They are a perfectionist company.
side-eyes the 10th gen iPad with its 1st gen Pencil and usb-c > lightning adapter...
You're probably right, but imagine the meme potential 🥺
