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.

    Apple will definitely not sell a single type c cable that isn’t capable of at least 30W PD, so they can charge a shit ton for them, even if the product will never use 30W charging. Actually not sure about that. I should go check my beats cable to see what PD it’s capable of.

    What’s up with the Pixel’s Type C impl?

      Google, unlike many of their competitors, doesn’t support display out on the Pixel. (Maybe to incentive people to use Chromecast?) I originally thought this was a feature they had and then removed, but apparently they actually never had it at all. Either way maybe we’ll see Apple do some impressive things with the PD on their implementation… Or add a lint filter to it ;)

        lol daisy chaining your 3 5k monitors with your cell phone!

        weird that the pixel doesn’t allow display out. wonder if it caused massive battery problems or screen overheating or something. that’s usually why they outright disable features like that.
