Apple's retail employees are being trained to inform customers that the new iPhone 15 models will not be compatible with existing Lightning chargers and will require USB-C chargers, potentially leading to increased sales of Apple's USB-C chargers and cables.
Apple's upcoming fall event, "Wonderlust," is set to showcase the new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models with a USB-C port, a notch-free Dynamic Island display, and improved camera technology, as well as the Apple Watch Series 9 with a new S9 chip and the possibility of updated AirPods Pro 2 with a USB-C charging case.
Apple plans to refresh its accessories with USB-C ports, including AirPods and Mac accessories, following the transition away from Lightning on the iPhone 15 lineup.
Apple is expected to unveil four models of the iPhone 15, with upgraded cameras, slimmer design, USB-C support, and improved performance, at its fall event, while the Apple Watch Series 9 will feature incremental upgrades and the newest AirPods may come with USB-C charging.
Apple is aiming to have all its accessories switched to USB-C by next year, including a new version of the MagSafe Duo and a stackable MagSafe battery pack that can charge multiple devices simultaneously, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
Apple is known for frequently changing the connectors and cables on its devices, requiring users to constantly purchase new adapters and accessories, with the company's adoption of USB-C for iPhones being the latest example.
