I can’t wait to drop $1,400 for a new port. Maybe I’ll get a different color to throw a case over just to make it seem like a better decision.

Hands-On: What the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro Will Look Like

Titanium is the rumor, but until Apple makes the announcement, we won’t know for sure.
Accelerating the death?! Is that a joke? It should have been dead already. The disaster was Apple sticking to the archaic Lightning format when it should have been switched over years ago when the iPad Pro and Mac made the move. So it's of Apple's making if were being honest here.
But, yes - thanks, EU for bringing Apple kicking and screaming into 2023. Finally.
Edit: Grammar mistake that bugged me.

Maybe they’ll switch to the iiPhone at some point.
Releasing new iPhone models every year might be the biggest environmental disaster.
Yeah sure it is....because using a different cable for everything is environmental friendly.
While I previously would have agreed with you, I've had nothing but problems with Lightning. Yet all of my USB-C devices never fail me. The time has come.
Is there anyone actually excited about these phones? I mean there really isn’t much to do for form factor other than folding, the iPhones have essentially remained unchanged since the X other than camera placement and size. USB-C will be nice, but I am beginning to wonder if I am gonna upgrade this year after all.
I'm more concerned about the intelligence level of placing a charging heat-generating device on an insulating material like that! Talk about a bad combination!
Well, they might still quietly update its insides without touching the overall design, then we would not be getting any leaks, rumours, etc.
Basically, there is still hope that mini could go on after iPhones 15 are out. 😉
I've had nothing but problems with USB-C. I brought a 60W cable on a cruise but didn't realize it. Laptop kept dying because the cable couldn't charge at full speed.
Then some USB-C cables only operate at 2.0 speeds when you need to transfer from SSD to MacBook
And who knows which cables are USB-IF certified. Which one is going to fry my device? I'll never know. My box is full of unknown USB-C cables. What am I supposed to do?
no. reusing billions of functioning cables that exist today is environmentally friendly.
nope. if Apple doesn't, people will switch to android since they release more often with newer features while iPhone goes stale. same problem exists.
You have no idea how the ecosystem works. Lots of history/nuance you skipped over just because you want to vent on a port you don't like.
And I'm sure we'll all thank EU for these ridiculous cookie popups too that most people don't care about 😂.
From what I'm reading/watching lately, it seems iPhone 15 will be more like "tick" product than "tock". Glad I got 14 and going straight for 16 Pro/Max/Ultra next year.
Ouch - not a lot of changes. Hopefully Plle will surprise uns with Bluetooth or WLan. Big question remains: Thunderbolt and his speed.
Might be time to retire my iPhone 7. I just don't want to pay $1k for a phone.
There are billions of USB-A Cables as well. 🤣 /// Most of us have USB-C Cables already. Even my old Thinkpad has already USB-C. In the greater view makes USB-C more sense. Move on
I’ll never understand this question. Other than making it thicker to allow for a larger battery, lens rearrangement that might allow for everything to be flush, what needs to be changed?
We’ve had round edges, to square, back to round and then square again. Should they try octagonal or triangle edges? Maybe a triangular phone.
Technology with better cameras make for massive bumps. Make the phone super thick and everyone will call it a cinder block instead of just a brick.
Design is fine. JMO. 👊😃👍
We don't need a rumors article to tell us that it will look like every single iPhone has for the last 15 years, with little more than an upgraded camera and minor, superficial changes to the corners.
What design would you like to see? Triangular? Octagonal? Round?
That's not the port; it's the consistent, near universal cheapness of Apple's cables, dating back to at least the late 90s.
