      Just remember it will still be Lightning port just disguised as USB-C shape. It won’t work with any normal USB-C accessories not MFI approved. Apple just complying with bare minimum of the law.

          Are we really sure that we want this?
          Do we really want that?
          I foretell USB-C cables with special Apple chip to lock out foreign manufacturers.

                    It's a good thing that now all companies use usb c. But i personally dont like usb c, cause the port is not easy to clean, and that middle thing's a bit fragile

                      Typical apple: if cable is not from apple it will have no fast charging:)

                        No point, apple doesn't care as they've already made all the profit. If these usb c law and regulations were in place 5-6 years ago and apple was forced to ditch lightning very unwillingly then it would be something praiseworthy.

                          I hate that the port is male while the cable is female. If the former breaks it would cost much more to repair than just buying a new cable.

                            Sadly, greedy scumbags still control Apple. Very disappointing. A big loss for consumers.

                            Major suck!

                                      I will still be waiting for an actual innovation(like integrating Sony's new sensor) and not just "not we use a Titanium frame and USB-C".

                                        Anonymous, 08 Aug 2023Limiting the charging speed will violate the EU regulation ... moreArticle stated this

                                        "Previous reports also suggest that Apple will limit data transfer and charging speeds on USB-C cables and accessories not part of its Made for iPhone (MFi) program. Apple is rumored to hold its iPhone 15 series keynote on September 13"

                                        So I had to go deep, deep into the Orchard to find this
                                        https://9to5mac.com/2023/02/28/usb-c-iphone-speeds/
                                        Apple may justify this in September in protecting iPhone from "unregulated charger and cables"
                                        (I already have a thing scheduled for that MONTH)

                                        The thing is data transfer speeds for USB 2 and Lightning are the same 480 Mbps (USB 3 is 10 TEN TIMES FASTER)
                                        The Type C connector is different to USB (micro usb) Apple is limiting speed this is not less than iPhone 14.

                                        Type C cables must support a minimum of 60 watt 12 volts @ 5 amps. However as you will see that there are already Type C phones launched at say 25 Watts so Apple non MFI cables and charger are at Apples mercy as to the charge speed.
