USB-C Cable for iPhone 15 Lineup Leaks to Show a Braided and Color-Matched Design, Similar to MacBook Air

The iPhone 15 launch is right around the corner and we are expecting some major changes on all four models. The standard iPhone 15 models will rock a Dynamic Island on display with upgraded cameras and internals. The 'Pro' models are expected to ship with even more significant changes, such as a grade 5 titanium build, a 3nm A17 Bionic chip, and slimmer bezels. However, all four models are rumored to come with the new USB-C port supporting Thunderbolt capabilities. A new leak now shows the braided USB-C cables that supposedly belong to the iPHone 15 lineup.

Braided USB-C cables for the iPhone 15 appear online, highlighting a color-matched design potentially for the 'Pro' models

It was recently coined that the USB-C port on the iPhone 15 models will come with Thunderbolt capabilities, allowing higher and faster data transfer speeds. Last week, we saw the USB-C components, potentially designed for the iPhone 15 lineup. Now, leaker Majin Bu has shared images of the braided USB-C cable which could launch with the iPhone 15 lineup. You can check out the images below and have a closer look.

As you can see in the leaked images below, the USB-C cables for the iPhone 15 models are braided and available in different colors. This is not the first time Apple will be moving to braided charging cables. If you have one of the new MacBook models, you might already be familiar with Apple's approach. With the MacBook Air models, Apple includes a color-matched braided cable and the same concept could be available on the iPhone next month.

While all four iPhone 15 models will be switching to the USB-C port, we suspect that the braided olor-matched cables will be an exclusive addition for the iPHone 15 Pro models. This is because the company could be looking into ways to create a wider gap between the standard and the 'Pro' models. Additionally, it was previously reported that Apple will increase the price of the iPhone 15 Pro models by up to $200. Henceforth, the company would likely add new features to justify the price increase.

Apple is rumored to announce new color options with the iPhone 15 Pro. So far, we have heard that the flagship devices will be available in a darker shade of red and blue. The leaked images of the USB-C charging cable for the iPhone 15 models show a lighter red or peach shade and a pastel blue color. This is one indication that the cables belong to the iPhone 15 series.

Take note that there is no certainty that the braided USB-C cables are designed for the iPhone 15 series as the final word rests with Apple. Furthermore, the leaker also states that the cables are "supposed" to be for the iPhone 15 but he can not be too sure if it is true. With that said, take the news with a grain of salt.
