Not looking forward to this downgrade.
With the iPhone 15 lineup, Apple is planning to adopt a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port in order to comply with regulatory changes that are being introduced in Europe. The USB-C port has been widely rumored at this point, but a first look at the actual iPhone 15 Pro chassis with included USB-C port was today provided to MacRumors and later shared on Twitter by leaker Unknownz21.
It's not hard to imagine what a USB-C port on an iPhone looks like as a replacement for a Lightning port because Apple already uses USB-C ports for iPhones and Macs, but it is always interesting to get a look at leaked components. In addition to confirming a USB-C port for the iPhone 15 Pro, the image also provides the first glimpse at the tweaked curves rumored for the device.
Apple is expected to make some minor design updates to the iPhone 15 Pro chassis, adding a deeper curve that's visible in the leaked image. The company is also rumored to be transitioning to a titanium material instead of stainless steel, and the brushed metal of the device does look like it has a titanium finish.
With the transition to USB-C, Apple is planning to replace the E75 Lightning Controller with an E85 Port Controller, according to Unknownz21.
Note that while it is the iPhone 15 Pro shown with a USB-C port, the port update is coming to the entire iPhone 15 lineup, including the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, as well as the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The design refinements will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro models.

I haven’t read all the comments so maybe someone has already written this but given that USB-C is a well-defined standard the thickness of that centre flat peg (for want of a better word) in the middle of the USB-C socket must be specified in the USB-C specifications so should form a fixed point of reference for thickness which means that zooming in the picture as far as possible without losing too much resolution and then using a ruler to measure the overall thickness of the phone in terms of how many multiples of the USB-C centre peg thickness it is should give us an idea of the overall thickness of the 15 Pro - assuming this leak is genuine of course.
I haven’t got the time right now to go and look up the USB-C spec that has the level of detail needed to define the centre peg thickness but I might try to do that sometime over the weekend unless someone else beats me to it.
Edit: Or length of the centre peg might give a better reference point. Or do the calculation both ways as a cross check would probably be best.

You must have had a pretty poor experience. My wireless CarPlay is fine.
How about using AirDrop like everyone else?
USB-C and Titanium. Damn that's pretty good, I think that's an easy 15PM pre-order lock in from me. My 6yo Android phone it's probably time to retire.
Nerds getting excited about iPhones new butt hole
If the finish will be anything like the Titanium Edition Watches, stock up on Brillo Pads, folks. That finish got marks quite easily, but could just as easily be re-brushed.
I'm willing to bet that kind of stuff will not work. EU mandates USB-C for charging and for charging it will be and for nothing else.
It will work, Apple has nothing to gain from banning those features, on the other hand they would be major selling points... for the Pro iPhones.
For the regular ones, we already know they'll be crippled to USB2 speeds but you can already buy Lightning pendrives for the current iPhones, it will be no different.
Why wouldn’t it work? Why limit it, at least for iPhone Pro models when iPad Pros can do dongle-free file transfers for years now?
My iPhone 13 Pro is 16 months old.
I have wirelessly charged it every single night since I got it using an Apple wireless charger.
Battery capacity is at 93%.
Wireless charging doesn’t kill batteries (not when done properly anyway).
I'm happy about the USB-C port and think it should've already happened (even though I'm already dreading the clickbait mainstream headlines/news stories about Apple "making" people buy all new chargers/cables 
), even though it'll create a lot of cable waste for me personally. The only things I'll have left with a lightning port are my an old iPad Air 2 that I only use for Music/Safari/HomeKit, few AirPods, and my Apple TV 4K 2017.
What I'm even more excited about, though, is the rumored switch to the brushed titanium finish noted here. Better looking and lighter?!? Shut up and take my money!

I hope Apple sells a usb a to usb c cable. Or at least doesn’t prevent a regular usb a to usb c cable from using CarPlay.
I’m happy there will be a standard port on all these devices. It should be the lightning form factor though. Apple made a more sturdy connector and port. The standard committee has not wanted to admit that since usb-c and now the governments are forcing the more fragile port on all of us.
I have been using magsafe since it came out. Battery is still at 96% after almost 2 years. Will take wireless charging over wired any day any time. I would’ve hope rather than stupid Qi Apple did something of their own
hm...
Got mine in November 2021 and it is still at 98%.
I use the 5W charger 90% of the time and only used the fast charger the other 10%.
