Looks like a pretty unwieldy cable. Wouldn't want to travel with that sucker.
Hard to believe, as it will also inevitably increase iPhone box sizes. Besides, have you seen the USB-C cable coming with Beats Flex? It’s super short, like 5 cm, if I remember correctly.
Colour-matching them also seems strange, considering all Apple’s environmental manifestos. What happens if a particular colour model does not sell well? All the respective cables to the bin?
I won’t be able to use that in my car since it doesn’t have any usb c ports, only usb a. Now got a new problem on my hands.
Apple been selling a USB-C braided charge cable that is 2 meters for a long time. They sell a non-braided 1 meter USB-C charge cable also. It would be odd to push out a 1.5 length example at all. They do have a 1.5 meter and .8 meter Thunderbolt 4 cables also.This may be a minority view but this is a very annoying size, at least for me.
For some reason my cables, strewn around my house, are perfect at either 3 feet of 6 feet.
3 feet is also perfect for my center console in my truck.
But maybe I've just designed my living space around prior cable sizes. 🤣
Not buying the color. Or at least not as-is in the picture. There is no way apple would have the cable be one color and the connectors on its ends be white.
Unless she outright throws the phone away when upgrading, maximizing battery life makes sense regardless of when you upgrade. The next owner will be happy, and less resources will have to be spent on battery replacements.So if you are upgrading your phone every year, what is the benefit of slow charging for you? Just to maximize battery life for that one year or is there something else I’m missing?
environmental disaster. thanks EU
That combination was already noted earlier, and it’s no different from how the iPhone front used to be white for all colors except space gray.There is no way apple would have the cable be one color and the connectors on its ends be white.
No doubt Apple will use 20c of cable to justify a $50 price increase to the phone.
The additional length will definitely be presented as a feature during the keynote.They’ll have to justify the price increase somehow.![]()
Seeing the cable colors doesn’t look that appealing IMHO, I am used to just grey ones. If the chargers aren’t matching colors what’s the benefit?So if this rumor proves true, that post from yesterday or so would apparently reveal the 5 colors of iPhone 15...

I know what you are thinking. Rumors floating around that the iPhone USB-C data port will be throttled to USB 2.0. I don't believe that for a minute.What type of USBC is this?
That is abuse, not normal wear, period.I still can’t believe I’ll finally be saying good bye to this. Beyond ready!

Still has at least another year before it will set fire to your home or vehicle. 🤣I still can’t believe I’ll finally be saying good bye to this. Beyond ready!

The only place I use a cable to connect my iPhone is in the car. In that case, I like the idea of retractable as I hate excessive cabling all over the console. While there are two Qi chargers in my 2020 Toyota Tacoma (one factory - which is slow af, the other in an after-market consoles tray - also slow af), I do look forward to a day when I have a wireless CarPlay situation (and Qi powerful enough to charge an iPhone). Until the, USB-A cables it is.Am I the only one that would prefer a SHORTER cable? I never use Apple's cables, always buy a 12" cable off amazon
