With the shift from lightning to USB-C connectors for the iPhone 15, it is important to choose a reliable USB-C charger to avoid damaging the phone. Reputable sellers like Apple, Anker, Belkin, Cable Matters, and Monoprice, or those certified by the USB Implementers Forum, are recommended. USB-C cables can range from $10 to $160, but it is advisable to spend around $20 to $30 for a quality charger. Apple chargers are usually the best option for Apple devices, as they are fully tested and certified. Cheap chargers may result in slower data transfers. It is generally safe to charge an iPhone from a laptop, but using a dedicated USB-C charger is recommended.

For earbuds, the JBL Tune 130NC Wireless Earbuds, Beats Powerbeats Pro, and Soundcore by Anker Life P2 Mini True Wireless Earbuds are highlighted. Additionally, the Apple USB-C-to-Headphone Jack Dongle and Belkin USB-C Cable are suggested for connecting wired headphones and providing extra charging cables, respectively.
Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 will feature a USB-C charging port instead of the Lightning cord, marking the first change to the iPhone's charging port in over a decade.

The EU legislation requires all smartphones sold in the region to have USB-C ports by fall 2024. The change will also apply to the new AirPods Pro, which will feature a USB-C charging port. While this means older iPhone users won't be able to borrow chargers, USB-C cords are widely used by non-Apple devices.
