Now that we see the iPhone 15 with the new usb-c port, what’s your first impression?

For me it’s not too big a deal, functionally identical. I have the pro, so could use high speed data, but I never have used the charging cable for data and am not likely to start now. I appreciate faster charging but realistically charge overnight, so no change
I understand and support the goal of one set of chargers and cables for everything, but in the immediate term, it does mean buying new cables and chargers, and it means all the existing ones going to waste.
– so far, I’ve had to buy two cables, a charger, and two new power strips with USB-C, and there will be more to come
– My teens still have Lightning iPhones and they’re hard on cables, so my old cables won’t go to waste.
– admittedly, I’m trying to jump past the next transition by moving to usb-c chargers somewhat rather than buy new usb-a to usb-c cables for old chargers
– I bought a usb-c watch cable but am not counting that because it was a replace t for a damaged usb-a Watch cable
– I’ll still need charging cables for my car, and my laptop bag, and I’m sure additional charging block or two
That’s what I was thinking, I have so many USB-C cables sitting about now from things like gamepads, Bluetooth earbuds, etc. How someone can have nine at this point is mind-blowing.
I actually had this great usb a to usb c from a JBL speaker that uses the usb a reversible standard. This was perfect to replace the lightning usb a I was using in my car for CarPlay.
