The iPhone 15 may not be the only iDevice that's getting the new USB-C port. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a respected Apple leaker who has a 72% accuracy rate, the next AirPods Pro will likely ditch Apple's proprietary Lightning port for USB-C, too.
To discourage e-waste, the European Union passed a mandate that all phones, tablets and cameras sold in the region must have USB-C charging ports by the end of 2024. “Obviously, we’ll have to comply,” Apple’s senior VP of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak told The Wall Street Journal. “We have no choice.”
