As the debut of Apple’s latest smartphone, the iPhone 15, draws ever closer, leaks and rumors are spilling from the supply chain and being amplified online by gadget obsessives.
Now, several photos have surfaced showing the new mobile device’s USB-C charging port, which may be annoying for those getting tangled up in their old cables, but it will also help make the iPhone more compatible with a wider range of devices. technology.
Apple rarely reveals the details of its next iPhone before the official unveiling, but tech and patent experts often reveal what to expect.
The consensus right now is that the iPhone 15 will feature a game-changing titanium alloy frame and larger battery, along with the expanded interoperability that comes with the new USB-C charging port.
Photos of the new iPhone 15 were posted to X (formerly Twitter) by an account describing itself as a China-based hardware technician, as well as a Tennessee-based programmer.

The images were sent to X (formerly Twitter) by user @lipilipsiwhose account is called ‘fix Apple’ and describes himself as a China-based ICC engineer for Apple and Chinese tech giant Huawei.
The posted images show two USB-C ports with attached internal circuitry and ribbon cables. ‘fix Apple’ described as the base model USB-C port for the iPhone 15, and the other as USB-C for the iPhone 15 Plus.
A second account, programmer based in Tennessee @John011235appeared to confirm this publishing the same components with the same tagsplus a third identified as iPhone 15 Pro Max.
‘John’ also posted more photos of the internal components of the iPhone 15 as well as images of the new iPhone 15 charging cable (see below), which was apparently for sale on a Chinese e-commerce site.
Previously, images of a ‘fictional’ iPhone 15 Pro were leaked last April, where it appeared on Douyin, the Chinese company’s sister version of TikTok.
Along with the titanium-based frame and a new solid-state volume button, which will likely replace the mute switch, the model also includes the new USB-C charging port instead of the usual Lightning port.
The exchange follows earlier statements by Apple executive Greg Joswiak, who told reporters that the tech giant “had to comply” with new USB laws passed by the EU.
‘Obviously, we will have to comply; we have no choice, just as we do around the world to comply with local laws,” Joswiak said.
“But we think the approach would have been better for the environment and better for our customers by not having such a prescriptive government.”
Although there is clear demand for the company to replace its own Lightning charging technology, discernible by its eight pins, with USB-C, the change to its charging port is bound to be controversial.
Apple’s history of changing cables and forcing consumers to buy its proprietary versions has led to numerous customer complaints over the years.

A second X (formerly Twitter) account, Tennessee-based programmer @John011235, appeared to confirm previous leaks by posting the same components. ‘John’ also posted more photos of the internal components of the iPhone 15
