The iPhone just got an official deadline to ditch Lightning for USB-C

TL;DR

After ten years with this technology, and multiple devices that people use on a daily basis, users are looking forward to streamlining their charging cables with USB-C and saving some money on this front as well.These days the vast majority of smartphones do come with USB-C charging and Apple is the only non-conformist amongst major phone manufacturers.Of course, the EU mandate affects iPhones only within its jurisdiction but it is unlikely that Apple will develop two phones in tandem with different charging needs for various regions.That could be taken with a pinch of salt, though, as people will no longer have to buy a Lightning cable, which might hurt Apple’s wallet.The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (possibly named iPhone 15 Ultra instead) could have USB-C ports capable of high-speed data transfer, likely using the USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3 standard, while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus could still use the same USB 2.0 speed that the Lightning charger currently comes with."
