iPhone 15: Locked a key feature from now on   

New information for 2023 models

The launch of the all-new iPhone 14 a few days ago almost immediately marked the start of a new round of rumors and speculation about next year’s models. In particular, we have already brought you information about the name changes that the company intends to make and the first details about the A17 Bionic processor.

Now, trusted Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, who leaked countless correct information about the current models in the past months, is back to bring details about Apple’s iPhone 15 to the public . Specifically, through his most recent Power On newsletter, he pointed out that he is now certain that from next year iPhones will have a USB-C port , leaving Lightning in the past.

Of course, Apple is obliged to make the transition by the end of 2024, after the European Union passed the relevant law in early October. However, it looks like the tech giant will be making the leap a year earlier, and not with the iPhone 16, with the reporter stating:

Apple was preparing for this law. I think the company will comfortably meet the deadline, even with its most popular products. The iPhone 15 is practically certain to have USB-C in the fall of 2023, a full year before the new regulations.

So apparently, a key feature of the iPhone 15 has been locked as of now. The next generation of Apple smartphones will make use of the common USB-C charging port, which is found in all models of other companies and in most other technological products on the market.

In fact, the new law will make Apple change the charging port of the AirPods, Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad, if it decides at some point in the future to renew them. Therefore, very soon almost every device in it will use USB-C.

Of course, this will probably not last long, since Gurman mentions that this transition is a “temporary measure”. The ultimate goal of the company is an iPhone without any ports , which will only charge wirelessly, as is done for example with MagSafe chargers.
