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.

Hot damn! Thank you, EU. Maybe we'll finally be able to climb out of connector hell.

The beauty is that it will start extending to devices like notebooks. So goodbye those stupid barrel plugs most still use that all vary in size for whatever goddam reason.

Mice too. Why no one makes usbc dongles is just insane to me. Even if it was an extra $10 give us the option.

I would pay more than that for a Logitech USB C dongle

I'm already out of the connector hell for several years by buying only devices with USB-C.

The iPhone doesn't have USB-C, I don't even consider buying one.

My new connector hell is trying to find a micro usb cable to charge that one device I still have that uses it.
