  > USB-C to follow most likely Only because Apple was forced to by an EU ruling. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they restrict sales of USB-C phones to EU-only, out of spite.

    I would be absolutely shocked if they made such a basic hardware feature region-specific. There is practically zero chance that USB-C isn't rolled out worldwide with the iPhone 15.

    I can't wait to see it as the leading feature for the 15. Revolutionary! Amazing!

    Are you going to volunteer to be the one to explain to my 60 and 70 year old relatives why they need to get all new cables for their phones?

      Surely someone from their neighborhood have some spare usb-c cables lying around?

  Hopefully they’ll at least keep a couple models around with lightning, I don’t want to re-buy my dongles and parse things like USB-C 3.2 Gen 1x2 vs USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (and does it have thunderbolt).

  Hopefully with USB-3 speeds. Last I understood, the iPhone still transfers data at USB-2 speeds. This is crazy when you want to transfer large videos, or backup.

    With a Wifi 6, and airdrop, does this really matter anymore?

      Dealing with a GoPro in the field, it helps.

      It matters a lot in the several instances where I want to transfer large files to non macOS systems.

    I'm only using the port for charging, but okay. I mean with wifi you can do the same quickly too and you don't need a cable for this. I think the good old Galaxy Nexus was the last phone I've been using in a usb-drive mode
