USB 2.0 on a 1000$ phone in 2023 is a bad joke. Boring update, both this and the pro but of course it will sell millions.


but if they added usb3 now then there would be nothing left for next year's iteration!


The regular iPhone starts at $799


That does not include any tax.


Tax doesn’t apply elsewhere. You can buy an iPhone without paying tax in multiple states.


It costs 979€ in my country, which is approximately 1040$


$829 for everyone not using Verizon.

Edit: this is incorrect, iPhone 15 starts at $799 for all.


It's $799 on all three major carriers and $829 unlocked. It's on the Apple website you can look this stuff up yourself


I see, Apple is giving the same price for iPhone 15 for all 3 carriers.

But if you check 14/13/SE, then if you do not chose Verizon, the price is $30 higher. I bought a 13 mini yesterday morning, which is when I experienced the extra $30, and I assumed it applies to all the iPhones.

Apparently, current year iPhones are excluded from the $30 surcharge for non Verizon subscribers.

Also, all iPhones sold on apple.com are unlocked, even the $799 ones. Only exception is if you buy with an ATT subsidized contract.
