Been waiting a few years to replace my iPhone 12 Pro but each year has not been too compelling it's own. I'm already 95% sure I'll be getting whatever phone they announce this year.
Tho if they do upgrade to USB-C (which I assume they will), I might wait for some durability tests on the port to come out. I have a shit ton of lightning connectors and am used to it, so not switching isn't much of a problem but could be worth not switching to USB-C if it's more likely to break than the tried and true king of durability
[clarification] I'm saying the port is the king of durability, not the cable/connector/plug
aren't there reports apple is slowing down the usb C depending on the model?
They can’t slow down the charging rate unless they want to get in trouble with the EU. If they’re planning to limit the data transfer rate for, say, non-Pro iPhones, that would suck, but then again all iPhones to date have been USB 2.0 at best, and USB Type-C is just the connector and doesn’t say anything about data transfer rates anyway.
https://www.macworld.com/article/1384522/iphone-15-usb-c-port-data-transfer-speeds.html This is just one of many. It APPEARS they don't want to show lightning is slower, but who really knows.
