iPhone 15 looks to be a pretty great update, at least for the Pro. Personally I have been holding out for a USB C iPhone so I was going to upgrade whenever that happened but there are some other things that look good as well.
USBC advocates who talk about “a single cable”. Do y’all really only charge one device at a time? Or will y’all be traveling with 2, 3, or 4 USBC cables when iPhone transitions?
I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.
Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.
Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.
Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.
I recently bought a 67W charging brick with 2 USB-C slots and I’m so happy with it, I’ve had the same experience of being able to charge any device I use with the same USB-C to USB-C cable: from MacBook Pro to iPad Mini (love it, it’s just the perfect size), also the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. At this point I hate having to go grab the lightning cable specifically to charge my iPhone
