iPhone 15 looks to be a pretty great update, at least for the Pro. Personally I have been holding out for a USB C iPhone so I was going to upgrade whenever that happened but there are some other things that look good as well.

    It’s not about the number of cables, but the number of cable types. The combinatoric explosion sucks. I’ve got cables for A-to-B, A-to-mini, A-to-micro, A-to-C, A-to-Lightning, C-to-C (some capable of TB3), C-to-Lightning. Apple already went all-in on USB-C with their laptops years ago, to the extent that they ditched every other port for a while. The sooner they do the same on the iPhone, the sooner we can leave behind the inconvenience of having the wrong cable or lacking a dongle.

      Try this cable. Only comes in 3’ length, but Walmart sells this one that is basically the same thing in 6’ length. A- to micro, C, and Lightning. It’s not perfect, but it definitely cuts down on the number of cables you need to carry.
