Kuo predicts that the iPhone 15 will eventually support USB-C in 2023.
According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 will be the first to use a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port. His intelligence is allegedly sourced from supply chain sources, and his forecasts frequently come true.
Apple is said to be replacing the proprietary Lightning port with the ubiquitous and simply superior USB-C interface. Since 2017, we've been covering similar rumours on a regular basis. Kuo has forecast the move several times over the years.
If this recent information is correct, the iPhone 14 series will be the last iPhone with a Lightning connector. Apart from the iPhone, Apple has already switched most of its gadgets to USB-C, leaving just the entry-level iPad and the AirPods lineup.
The iPhone 15 will benefit in various ways from the adoption of USB-C - faster charging and broader connectivity, particularly with Apple's own USB-C-powered devices. And if you think Apple will stand to lose money by going the non-proprietary route, a USB-C to Lightning cable is the same Euro25 as a USB-C to USB-C cable on Cupertino's website.

My latest survey indicates that 2H23 new iPhone will abandon Lightning port and switch to USB-C port. USB-C could improve iPhone's transfer and charging speed in hardware designs, but the final spec details still depend on iOS support.

It's expected to see existing USB-C-related suppliers of Apple's ecosystem (e.g., IC controller, connector) become the market's focus in the next 1-2 years, thanks to vast orders from iPhones and accessories' adoption of USB-C ports.
