 I’m having second thoughts about buying iPhone 15 non-pro because it has USB 2 not 3, see attached pic.

I’m starting to think that maybe instead of upgrading iPhone I should just wait till my old iPhone breaks?

See:

 @efa2e20e But does an iPhone need USB3+ support? The port primarily exists for charging at this point and not data transfers right?

I would think most accessories you might want to use, like a good USB microphone, wouldn't need USB3 either.

That’s exactly what i do with my 11. i wait till it’s dead or falling of a roof or get crashed when in my pocket while riding my MTB like a lunatic 😉 
 @efa2e20e I’m waiting till my iPhone 11 breaks … or one of my kids breaks their phone. No reason for my to upgrade otherwise.

I don't like the internal sim card.  You can't pull it in the new phones. 
 @efa2e20e 
You should definitely buy it.  Actually, you should buy 2.  Donate your old phone to Ukraine.  Unless you support Putin. 
 @efa2e20e Does that mean ONLY supports USB 2? Or supports USB 3+ and is backward compatible with USB 2 devices? 
 @efa2e20e Lightning cables are going to be really cheap in a few months. 
 @efa2e20e Do homework here....

 @efa2e20e That's my strategy. I am still on the Samsung Note 8
