I understand why they did it. But just my perspective on it, I will have to replace all my lightning cables with usb-c, and the usb-c ecosystem seems like a nightmare to me from what I have seen. This would be my first usb-c device.
This felt like really let down release. I am usually the first one to upgrade iPhone no matter what but this year I felt no attachment to any of these "new" things. Just didn't cared at all. The things I would have cared: - Dual screen - AR/3D photo/video features in phone - Much better battery life - Full satellite communication - OS-wide AI features, massively upgraded Siri, AI-first mobile browser, auto-complete,…
I had heard somewhere that the first batch of a new electronics product (like the iPhone 15 if you pre-order right now) is more likely to have manufacturing defects and other subtle issues. So it is best to wait a few months to buy a new product. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, how long is optimal to wait to have the highest probability of all the kinks being worked out? Like when should I buy the iPhone 15?
IIRC, Apple will have made somewhere close to 20k phones before getting anywhere close to mass production and as the ID didn't change that much, the risk is pretty low on there being a long term material issue.
If the ID changes next year (just going off manufacturing rumors), I might wait a little, but this year seems like no risk.

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 Fr…
Does anyone have any clue how long I have to wait for a replaceable battery? IIRC the EU has made it happen that tech giants need to conform to this.
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.

This is why USB-C is a user-hostile spec.
> USB-C is going to mean I can get rid of all these lightning cables Bought a Motorola G6 in 2018 for €199. It takes "fantastic" photos, and came in a "stunning new" (!?) color of black(ish). It's pretty much indestructible, runs Firefox with uBlock Origin, and it's "better for the environment" because every year you don't buy a new phone, the environment is happy. It also has USB-C, and a 3.5 jack.
usb c is garbage. It may be common, but it has atrocious compatibility. It's less durable than lightning , and hard to plug in. Thank European socialists for imposing a worse product on everyone.
