iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

Honestly for me the best part is the USB-C.

Every year it's a new camera, new whatever, but USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables.

Not increasing the price is nice, I guess. Will have to buy more USB-C cables, though. (Technically the low highest end phone is higher, but higher spec, too).

It comes with one USB-C to USB-C charging cable - not sure if it is a data cable, also.

Pre-order Friday, delivery 22 Sept. Probably going to move on it just to get that USB-C, need to see what carrier deals I can find.

These presentations look like something straight out of some dystopian corporate hellscape fiction.

I'll need to buy new AirPods too, unless I want to carry a lightning cable around too. Or just always use wireless charging with them.

how would that benefit consumers?

Dynamic Island, USB-C and camera enhancements make me glad this is my upgrade year (I have a 12). I will probably grab the base Pro model for $200 more due to even better camera though, but I would be pretty happy with the 15 regular as well. I stopped with the big phones a few years ago... the battery bump is nice, but my phone goes everywhere and I prefer the regular size in my hand and pocket.
