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.

USBC advocates who talk about “a single cable”. Do y’all really only charge one device at a time? Or will y’all be traveling with 2, 3, or 4 USBC cables when iPhone transitions?
I have two USB-C cables on my desk plus a Lightning cable.
Those two cables will charge my two laptops, my mouse, my PS5 controller, my iPad Pro, and my battery packs. I rarely find a scenario where I need to charge more than 2 at once.
Meanwhile the Lightning cable is only ever for my phone.
Yes, you want more than one cable, but USB-C means you can just have a couple of identical chargers that are big enough for your largest device but can charge anything. No more trying to find the right charger for the right device.
I travel a ton for business and would prefer to just travel with fewer cables. I already have to bring two lightning cables in case one breaks so I can charge my phone and my Magic Mouse. Would be super happy to just carry two usb c cables with me.
When I travel, I usually have only one charger now a days.
But the biggest advantage has been that anywhere I go I can get my device charged. Even if I forget my cable at home.
I remember years back when each device had a different port. Accidentally forget my charger, had to run around a new city at night searching for open store so that I could find the right cable.
I charge with a magsafe charger, and this switch means nothing to people like me.
