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.

    Wouldn’t that be false advertising? It needs some internal feature that makes it faster, and there’s no way it’ll naturally be faster than a regular USB-C.

      How is it false advertising? Apple makes a cord to spec and standard and slaps a “made for apple” tag line on it. Its just marketing. Nothing special about the cable. Its just a way to ensure apple fanboys buy it.

        making iPhones use a “Made for Apple” type of cable for faster charging speeds

        The bolded part is the problematic bit.

            Okay…but that’s what the guy you were originally replying to had quoted…I think we can both agree it changes quite a bit if you don’t include the faster speed.
