We’ve known that the iPhone is switching to USB-C for a while now, but there was always a possibility that Apple would stick with Lightning for one more year. Based on the latest leaked images, however, Apple is all-in on USB-C for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models, with USB-C parts for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro Max all shown in a leaked image by X user fix Apple.

With the switch to USB-C, nearly all of Apple’s devices will have adopted the new standard, with only AirPods, Mac accessories, and the iPhone SE remaining aside from older iPhones and the 9th-gen iPad.

Samsung went straight from S10 to S20.

that makes a lot more sense, it looks better and you get the well-proven benefit of bigger numbers.

Eventually you get to S3000 and that's when you know you've made it

I'm not buying another Samsung until it's over 9000.

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is released in 2010. Or the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 in 2013.

I think samsung is going with the year as the name now. They skipped to s20, but then have going with s21 s22 s23 etc.

Samsung made it so the model number would match the year it was released.

Having worked internally to Samsung at that time, I can confidently say, no, it isn’t. They did it so that their number wouldn’t be behind apples anymore.
