"For years, the iPhone was stuck with the Lightning port, even as Apple moved its other devices to USB-C. That meant keeping one cable for my iPhone and another for my iPad and Mac. However, starting with the iPhone 15 lineup, Apple finally made the switch. Every current iPhone model, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and iPhone 17 families, now uses USB-C.

USB-C enables far more than charging: it allows power delivery for charging other devices, wired peripherals to create a mobile workstation, connection to external displays for video playback, and high-quality digital audio input and output for recording and professional interfaces. Musicians can connect MIDI instruments and professional audio gear. Wired USB-C accessories provide faster, more reliable performance and simplify large file transfers and storage access, making the iPhone a multi-purpose hub for work, media, storage, and networking.
