Why, are they also forcing you to throw away your old iPhone?
The battery will, at some point, necessitate getting a new phone, yes. As will other innovation. I know this seemed like a really smart dig, but it’s not like it only affects one year of devices. Come on, now.
Finally. Now I just hope they don't institute some dumb program where it only talks to Apple devices or some crap.
Oh, they will. Apple will cripple the port with some BS excuse about "security."
...apples USB security already works on the iPad, and only allows charging until you authorize the device.
And if you know anything about this stuff, that's better than other vendors.
Now I can finally throw away all of those perfectly usable lightning cables and buy a horde of new USB-C cables that do absolutely nothing to improve my experience. Thanks for that, EU.

I can't wait to be using USB C in 15 years because of the EU.
Please don't edit title as per guidelines. There is no reason why the original title can't be used as it fits the character limit. "USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked part images"
Arguing for more-descriptive titles (and against shitty ones) is always good. Meanwhile, "as per" is redundant.
A friend got a new high end 2019 Samsung phone. The week it came, we were at the beach. I offered my USB battery. They used a USB-C to USB-C charge cable to connect it. They passed the phone-and-battery to me and I grabbed it by the cable , as I would with a lightning cable. The USB-C detached from the phone and the phone fell 3.5 feet onto the rocky sand. It immediately broke the rear glass. After that experience, I…
I've had issues with my past 2 usb c phones. the female connector has a hidden male part in the phone. when you insert the cable incorrectly, it can damage that internal male part. it is much harder to replace that part then just getting a new cable. the lighting cable was a classic male connector to a classic female part

??? Using a standardized cable that you'll always be able to find at a friend's place that also works with basically all modern devices doesn't improve your user experience?
Why would I find a cable at a friends house? I charge my phone at home, at night. With one of the cables that also work with my earphones and tablet.
