Only devices/models first released to the public on or after 28 December 2024 would have to comply. If Apple keeps up the yearly September releases that would mean the iPhone 17 (September 2025) is the first iPhone that has to comply to the regulations.

The 14 released two months ago. Going by the current release schedule the USB-C deadline would be just after the release of the iPhone 16 (late 2024). So a switch on the 15 is a bit earlier than expected.

Almost every online thread involving any discussion about Apple and USB-C.
“They will go portless before USB-C” or “They will wait until just before the deadline” are common sentiments.
EDIT: Recent example of a thread with many such comments.

People were concerned Apple would wait until the iPhone 16 or 17 (closer to the deadline) rather than the next major release.

Ming-Chi Kuo is a financial analyst with insider sources within the Apple supply chain. So far his "surveys" have been very accurate in the past.

Lightning and Thunderbolt are different things. Thunderbolt (specifically version 3 and 4) is a interface that uses the same plug as USB-C
