Is it really happening?

Leaked images of the iPhone 15’s design seem to all but confirm the presence of a USB-C port on the phone, replacing the Lightning port that has been a mainstay in Apple iPhones since 2012.
Leaker Unknownz21 tweeted today a photo of the alleged iPhone 15’s front, as well as the USB-C port at the bottom.
The iPhone 15’s front seems to be identical to previous iPhone models, with the exception of seemingly having the 14 Pros’ Dynamic Island at the top. However, finally seeing the USB-C port on an iPhone is perhaps the biggest story here.
It can be recalled that Apple has confirmed that it will be implementing the USB-C port on the iPhone in compliance with a recent EU law that passed, requiring USB-C to be the common charging port for all mobile devices by 2024.
However, we have reported earlier that Apple may limit the iPhone USB-C functionality, comparable to how Apple denies third-party Lightning accessories or cables with a โThis accessory is not supportedโ prompt.
Despite that, seeing a rumored iPhone with a USB-C port is still something to behold and we’re excited to get our hands on one soon.
