Rumor Has It That Apple's iPhone 15 Pro And 15 Pro Max Will Come With USB-C, While iPhone 15 Will Use Lightning Interface

A few days ago, the European Union agreed to standardize the use of USB-C for all battery-powered consumer digital electronic devices that support wired charging. This is a big blow for Apple, knowing that the iPhone has always used the Lightning interface.

iPhone 15: Lightning
iPhone 15 Pro: USB-C

iPhone 16: USB-C
iPhone 16 Pro: USB-C or portless

Lightning is coming to an end.

But after the EU has decided, Apple seems to choose to accept the truth. According to a whistleblower , the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will get a USB-C port next year .

But the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Max will continue to use Lightning for a year. Considering the new EU rules won't take effect until 2024, Apple could still make iPhones with its proprietary charging port until then.

In addition, the leaker said that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Max will completely switch to USB-C in 2024, and the iPhone 16 Pro version may also adopt a no-interface design, thus completely bypassing EU regulations. The leaker said the timeline came from his sources inside Apple.
