Apple could well remove the last obstacle to convince Android users to succumb to its iPhone 15. Indeed, according to a recent survey, the upcoming arrival of USB-C on the brand’s smartphones, imposed by the European Union , is already weakening the convictions of many followers of his rival. They are now 44% to say they are interested.
We are only a few days away from the release of the iPhone 15, which will be presented to the general public on September 12. The tension therefore rises on the side of Apple aficionados, and one would think that the others are looking at the thing with indifference. But that would be making a big mistake: indeed, many on the Android side are waiting with interest for the presentation of the next premium smartphone from the Apple brand.
This is revealed by a recent survey conducted by the SellCell site, which interviewed 1,000 owners of iPhones and 1,000 of Android smartphones. The study thus highlights a main reason for this renewed interest: the arrival of USB-C. In particular, 44% on the Android side admit that they are now considering buying an iPhone 15. Among iPhone owners, 63% plan to buy the new model.

USB-C on the iPhone 15 is a big selling point for Android users
If many of them will therefore do without this generation, they are still 38% to admit that this change is welcome in the range of smartphones from Apple. We understand them, this novelty has everything of a revolution: a finally universal charger between all devices, which is more (in theory) faster both for recharging and for data transfer, there is enough to show enthusiastic when you have always known the Lightning.
Android users, for whom this new feature is not enough, are also good players: nearly 38% say they are happy with this upcoming change. The rest of the users are quite teasing, since a small part points out that USB-C does not interest them… simply because they prefer wireless charging. It’s an argument like any other.
