iPhone 15 looks to be a pretty great update, at least for the Pro. Personally I have been holding out for a USB C iPhone so I was going to upgrade whenever that happened but there are some other things that look good as well.

There's a process built into the EU regulation to update it as improvements become possible with a potential switch to a new standard:

Regular updates: the Commission would be required to regularly review and amend requirements for wired and wireless charging, 'in line with scientific and technological progress, consumer convenience and environmental developments' (article 3(4)4a RED)

Yeah when phones moved from micro USB to USB c the regulations were fluid enough to handle it without any fuss. When we have the next standard I'd expect the same.

Micro usb was never mandated but all the manufacturers moved to it because they expected the EU to eventually mandate it. But by the time the law was voted, the mandated port became the usb-c.
