USB-C Confirmed for the iPhone 15

Finally.<p>Now I just hope they don&#x27;t institute some dumb program where it only talks to Apple devices or some crap.

I&#x27;ve had issues with my past 2 usb c phones. the female connector has a hidden male part in the phone. when you insert the cable incorrectly, it can damage that internal male part. it is much harder to replace that part then just getting a new cable. the lighting cable was a classic male connector to a classic female part

Please don&#x27;t edit title as per guidelines.<p>There is no reason why the original title can&#x27;t be used as it fits the character limit.<p>&quot;USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked part images&quot;

Thank you EU - those Lightning cables are so overpiced and rather fragile.

Cool, can we open up a virtual serial connection to an arduino without buying a mifi chip?

I&#x27;ve been envying iPhone users for the tons of lightning cables for headphones and IEMs. Hope the new generation USB C cables expands the options for Android users.

We will finally learn which is more rugged, lightning or usbc. The female lighting is so easy to clean from sand and lint.

They have been &quot;forced&quot; by EU (yay, fxck non standard connectors) but in the article seems like Apple made this choice to &quot;upgrade&quot; the functionalities of their products...

Now I can finally throw away all of those perfectly usable lightning cables and buy a horde of new USB-C cables that do <i>absolutely nothing</i> to improve my experience. Thanks for that, EU.

A friend got a new high end 2019 Samsung phone. The week it came, we were at the beach. I offered my USB battery. They used a USB-C to USB-C charge cable to connect it. They passed the phone-and-battery to me and I grabbed it by the cable , as I would with a lightning cable.<p>The USB-C detached from the phone and the phone fell 3.5 feet onto the rocky sand. It immediately broke the rear glass.<p>After that experience, I&#x27;m still skeptical if the friction available in the USB-C socket is up to the task of day-to-day phone use (vs lightning). Among other challenges, Apple must have been struggling with this all along.
