The iPhone 15, expected to launch in September, could have a feature that no iPhone has ever had — a generic charging port.
When Apple removed the iPhone headphone jack in 2016, it spurred months of commentary, both for and against the "" change, whether Apple was pushing people to its more expensive wireless AirPods, and still inspires takes today about whether it was the right decision
But while Apple makes money from its cables, and has a program where accessory makers pay for access and official Apple parts called "MFi," Apple's strategic focus is making sure that its products work together without major flaws so its users continue to buy new iPhones. It's not nickel and diming dongles and accessories.
Cable sales are reported in Apple's Wearables, Home, and Accessories product line, which reported $41 billion in revenue in 2022, although Apple Watches and headphones make up the majority of the sales. That's much smaller than the $205 billion in iPhone sales Apple reported during the year.Apple's argument that a new charger will cause confusion holds more water.
This also means that many iPhone users will learn that not all cables with a USB-C connector are created equal. Some cables can transfer data quickly, and some can't. Back when the standard was first introduced, some cables could even cause damage to devices because they were misconfigured Some cables even support "Thunderbolt," a modern data transfer standard for powerful accessories like monitors or docks, although at a higher price.
