As the release date for the highly anticipated iPhone 15 approaches, rumors and speculation about its features have been swirling. While we have yet to determine what the new phone will bring, one feature that has been rumored more than ever is the inclusion of a USB-C port.

In this article, we'll explore the history of the iPhone's charging ports, the advantages of USB-C, the challenges Apple may face in making the switch, and the company's potential reasoning for sticking with Lightning.

Greg Joswiak, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Marketing at Apple, said in an interview that "obviously, we'll have to comply" with the EU's new USB-C rules while criticizing them for e-waste implications and inconveniencing customers.

Ever since Greg Joswiak said, "obviously, we'll have to comply," major news outlets broke the news that "Apple confirms the iPhone is getting USB-C." But here is the thing, he nor anyone at Apple confirmed that USB-C is coming to the next iPhone.

They just said: "We will comply."
