One of the biggest changes rumored to be coming to the iPhone 15 is the USB-C connector. After spending its 16 years of existence using some kind of proprietary charging cable, Apple is finally adopting the same standardized connector as everyone else — even if it may not entirely be Apple’s choice to do so.
This is a big deal. Partly because it means iPhones won’t be the odd one out where charging and accessories are concerned, but also because of how much more advanced USB-C has the potential to be compared to the Lightning cable. The problem is there’s a very real chance Apple will screw it all up by being, well, all Apple about it.
