Apple is expected to release the iPhone 14 series in September, with four variants expected to be available, excluding the small version. Except for the unique punch-hole cutout design on the Pro versions, the models will look almost identical to their predecessors. Despite this, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the iPhone 15 series will be the first to use the USB Type-C connection rather than the Lightning cable. Supply chain sources are cited by the analyst.
We're convinced that the future iPhone 15 series will include a USB Type-C port instead of lightning for charging, based on Ming-Chi Kuo's track record with Apple leaks. Customers would benefit greatly from this change because it will allow them to charge all of their gadgets with a single wire.

My latest survey indicates that 2H23 new iPhone will abandon Lightning port and switch to USB-C port. USB-C could improve iPhone's transfer and charging speed in hardware designs, but the final spec details still depend on iOS support.
