Being able to swap for a completely different connector on warranty terms? Please share where Apple states this in writing, I am intrigued! 😄
What do you mean? I usually get the newest iPhone each year I never bought a USB-A - lightning cable or USB-C to lightning since I always have one year warranty, obviously when the iPhones came with USB-A I claim those and now I do the same with USB-C since iPhone 11 since it didn't come with USB-A. I claim two warranties so far for my USB-C to lightning for my 14 pro and all I had to do was return the damaged wire. Why pay for a new cable when I could get one for free 😋
 


The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could come with color-matched braided USB-C to USB-C cables, according to a rumor coming out of Asia.

Twitter user "Majin Bu" first shared the information over the weekend, but was unable to verify the source of the rumor circulating on Chinese social media. Now, Apple device prototype collector "Kosutami" has affirmed that they have seen design validation test (DVT) samples of the color-matched braided USB-C cables and they are apparently destined to come alongside the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

With the exception of the black version, each of the cables has a glossy white plastic shell at either end. Unlike the Apple Watch magnetic charging cable and MagSafe 3, the braided USB-C cables feature strain relief tubes.

Kosutami told MacRumors that they are anticipating that these cables will at least come in white, black, yellow, purple, and orange color options. It seems that this orange shade will be closer to a pink, perhaps like the iPhone XR's Coral color option. Each of these cable colors should match up with a corresponding iPhone 15 color option. A single rumor from February suggested that the iPhone 15 will be available in Pink and Blue, but it is otherwise unknown what specific color options the new devices could come in.

To date, all iPhone models have come with a white cable featuring a white rubber jacket, regardless of the color option chosen for the device itself. Apple has gradually been moving to braided cables across most of its devices, and all MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models with MagSafe 3 come with a color-matched braided cable, so doing the same for the iPhone seems plausible amid its transition to USB-C.

Update: The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will also apparently come with color-matched braided USB-C to USB-C cables, MacRumors has been told.

  • Wow
Reactions: Pinkyyy 💜🍎
Serious question: since this will be the first year of USB-C for iPhone, do you think Apple with actually include a USB-C charging block this year? Or do we get to give Apple another 30 bucks for the block?
