The iPhone 15 will be the first iPhone to adopt a USB-C port instead of Lightning, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. His information allegedly comes from sources in the supply chain, and his predictions often materialize.
It is rumored annually that Apple will replace the proprietary Lightning port with the universal and simply better USB-C. We have been reporting such rumors regularly since 2017. Kuo himself has predicted the move a few times over the years.
Should this latest information emerge, the iPhone 14 series will be the last iPhone equipped with Lightning. Apple has already moved most of its devices to USB-C, leaving only the entry-level iPad and AirPods lineup, aside from the iPhone.
The iPhone 15 will benefit in a number of ways from adopting USB-C: faster charging and wider connectivity, especially with Apple devices powered by USB-C. And if you think Apple will lose money going the non-proprietary route, a USB-C to Lightning cable costs $ 25 like a USB-C to USB-C cable on the Cupertino website.

My latest survey indicates that the new iPhone 2H23 will ditch the Lightning port and switch to the USB-C port. USB-C may improve iPhone transfer and charging speeds in hardware projects, but final spec details still depend on iOS support.– 郭明 錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) May 11, 2022
