Which is a really good thing, IMO.

I’m upgrading from a 12 to a 15 because of USB-C and the other improvements that have accumulated, and after that I’m leaving it alone for a long time.

If USB-C wasn’t there, I wouldn’t even bother as my 12 works perfectly fine, Safari feels snappy and this phone could last a good long while still.

I’ve got a 12 and sticking with it for now. The X won’t get the new iOS which I think means 6 years of firmware support. I can see this one lasting 5-6 years. Definitely a good thing - can remember avoiding iOS upgrades when they would slow down older phones beyond being usable.

Why is USB C enough of a reason to switch if your 12 works fine?

Because it’s the last holdout. I use mostly apple devices, and lightning is pretty much the only device I have that uses something other than usb c to charge. It would also make the “hey does anyone have a charger?” Question at parties or work a lot more tolerable.

Pretty much what the other poster says, plus the fact that there are other improvements that weren’t big enough to upgrade before, but USB-C tipped the scales.
