USB-C confirmed for the iPhone 15 in new leaked part images
macworld.com

We’ve known that the iPhone is switching to USB-C for a while now, but there was always a possibility that Apple would stick with Lightning for one more year. Based on the latest leaked images, however, Apple is all-in on USB-C for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, with USB-C parts for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max all shown in a leaked image by X user fix Apple.

With the switch to USB-C, nearly all of Apple’s devices will have adopted the new standard, with only AirPods, Mac accessories, and the iPhone SE remaining aside from older iPhones and the 9th-gen iPad.

Wireless charging is a pretty bad option for a sole charging source though, it is highly inefficient and heats up the phone more than using a wire. My last phone actually had issues from overheating because I used it a lot while on a wireless charging dock.

Mine only gets charged on the dock overnight. I’ve never needed to charge it during the day so it doesn’t get used while charging.

Yeah, I'm sure it is great for a situation like that. When I worked from home I'd use it pretty much all day while charging on a dock, like, 100% screen on time. It caused the battery to swell up and pop the back glass off though, so I don't do that anymore.

Given how frequently something gets stuck in the port or it gets slightly damp and refuses to charge, I won't go on travel without a wireless charger. The only time I plug in is if I'm charging from an external battery.
