Now that we see the iPhone 15 with the new usb-c port, what’s your first impression?

For me it’s not too big a deal, functionally identical. I have the pro, so could use high speed data, but I never have used the charging cable for data and am not likely to start now. I appreciate faster charging but realistically charge overnight, so no change
I understand and support the goal of one set of chargers and cables for everything, but in the immediate term, it does mean buying new cables and chargers, and it means all the existing ones going to waste.
– so far, I’ve had to buy two cables, a charger, and two new power strips with USB-C, and there will be more to come
– My teens still have Lightning iPhones and they’re hard on cables, so my old cables won’t go to waste.
– admittedly, I’m trying to jump past the next transition by moving to usb-c chargers somewhat rather than buy new usb-a to usb-c cables for old chargers
– I bought a usb-c watch cable but am not counting that because it was a replace t for a damaged usb-a Watch cable
– I’ll still need charging cables for my car, and my laptop bag, and I’m sure additional charging block or two
Isn’t it just USB-C PD? I think they do the same with Androids that support it.
Charging is, yes. But the iPhones negotiate which one has more charge and becomes the charger automatically.
Seems to be the case for Androids with USB PD also is my point. https://youtu.be/piYf4gDthjY?si=DzFm6Z9AtfreDF-q

Can you choose to do it the other way?
Say I’m at 40% and my wife is at 50%
I will be near a charger in an hour while she’ll be out and about all day.
Can I not choose to give her some charge even though I currently have less than her?
