    First of all, this is better for the environment and helps consumers save money as USB C is universal rather than Apple's proprietary lightning connector which costs more because Apple charges a fee to accessory makers. Secondly, USB C has 20x faster data transfer speeds and capable of up to 150 watt fast charging speeds rather than the slow 23 watt fast charge of iPhone on lightning connector

    It's not an innovation, it's just the biggest news story because they've been holding onto lightning for so long and there is a perception that not only did Apple not want to change but that they are annoyed about it. Smart phones aren't about innovation anymore, it's a mature product. The iPhone 15 is an advancement on the previous one with compelling new features. If that's not good enough for you then you'll just have to deal with it.

    @@TheDoomer666 yeah. It's not that complicated. The original USB 1 and 2 have four wires - a positive and ground pair for power. And a positive and negative pair for data. ...whereas USB 3 has 9 wires, because it has more data lanes. So since a regular old USB cable only has 4 wires, it won't be able to give you the connection speed for USB 3, which needs 5 more wires. That's why you need the right cable with enough wires inside for the iPhone 15 Pro. Also, the connector needs to be type C for the iPhone, which is important to check because USB 3 also exists as the old USB A and B connectors. As for USB 4 or Thunderbolt, it actually needs 12 wires, so you have to make sure the cable has that. However, it only exists as connector type C, so there isn't a danger of using the wrong connector.

Makes no sense. I wonder if they'll include it in next year's iPhone or if they just don't want to upgrade that part, similar how they still don't have a 100 megapixel camera that other phones have had for about 10 years now.

Apple is already there. Every laptop manufacturer has a different charger (of course some use USB C already 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽) what about all that ewaste? I am all in on USB C, but lightning wasn’t a one off that Apple changed every year. It’s been 11 years of the same cable all of the devices that use lightning were ubiquitous in their port while other companies were using micro usb and other types of ports. There are still consumer devices with micro usb and non USB charging ports. I wish we could send in our devices and get them converted to USB C.

  • @Delta9Church

    Nobody is talking about how unless you buy the pro model, you actually get a downgraded USB c delivering usb2.0 speeds. They are only delivering standard 40gbps in the pro models, while phones 1/3 the price have had those speeds for half a decade they are withholding a cheap component to force the upgrade. That's shady business.

    Yep, and this time we are just moving to widely adopted standard anyways. So it's not like from 30-pin connector to Lightning connector which is both proprietary anyways. Most likely people that have other USB-C devices will simply reuse the same cable to their new iPhone. Even later iPhone chargers are already USB-C anyways.

    Apple is the only company delivering premium phone and managing to down-spec the USB-C. 480mbit USB2 speed on a 959€ iPhone15. Even the pro is specced-down. It does offer 10gbit speed, but not full USB-C 3.1 or better, for supoort of DP or mobile HDMI. Heck, they should have rolled out TB4 for all models and do 30 minutes of keynote of how awesome it is that iPhones finally have USB mass storage support.

    Magsafe - as all other wireless chargers - lose 60% of the power that is fed into it. That can be ok if you use power from a wall socket and your charging speed is no more that 10 - 15 W; but if you want increase the charging speed, or you want to charge the phone with a power bank, then the cable is mandatory. This said, it is highly unlikely that we will ever see a phone without a wired connection - because of the laws of physics, principally...
