iPhone 15 looks to be a pretty great update, at least for the Pro. Personally I have been holding out for a USB C iPhone so I was going to upgrade whenever that happened but there are some other things that look good as well.

So is the USB C port happening or still a rumor?
Apple pretty much confirmed it due to EU regulations.
On a side note, I think that level of regulation is dumb. Who decides when it’s time to move on from USB-C when a suitable replacement is made by someone? This isn’t 30 years ago. There’s effectively 2 charger types left. Silly to dictate that one standard needs to be used when the market sorted that out long ago.
There’s a process built into the EU regulation to update it as improvements become possible with a potential switch to a new standard:
Yeah when phones moved from micro USB to USB c the regulations were fluid enough to handle it without any fuss. When we have the next standard I’d expect the same.
Micro usb was never mandated but all the manufacturers moved to it because they expected the EU to eventually mandate it. But by the time the law was voted, the mandated port became the usb-c.
