Well, as we already know about USB-C coming to iPhone 15 series, but with conditions applied. No, not on you, don’t worry but with Apple(as per the leaks).
In the recent video, I posted about upcoming iPhone 15 line up would be having USB-C but with a condition.
USB-C would be there as stated by Mr Ming-Chi Kuo, Our only and reliable source when it comes to leaks.

My latest survey indicates all 2H23 new iPhones will abandon Lightning and change to USB-C, but only two high-end models (15 Pro & 15 Pro Max) will support the wired high-speed transfer, and the two standard ones (15 & 15 15 Plus) still support USB 2.0 same as Lightning.
So moving ahead Mr. Ming-Chi Kuo is now reporting that this will lead to a significant boost in wired transfer speeds for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
And the whole iPhone 15 series, the iPhone 15, iPhone Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max, will make the switch to USB-C, only the two high-end devices will see an improvement in transfer speeds.
Kuo stats that “iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will retain the same USB 2.0 transfer speeds as Lightning”.
Kuo also goes further stating that “the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or Ultra?) will feature “at least USB-C 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3” data transfer speeds.” Also USB-C 3.2 could improve data transfer speeds to as high as 20 Gbps, while Thunderbolt 3 would boost that even further to 40 Gbps.
But as more leaks pour in, it would be really interesting to see how Apple would align its iPhone 15 series with European regulations.
