The iPhone 15 is the one that changed port: Lightning out, USB-C in. It is also the first base model to get the Dynamic Island in place of the notch.
The new port has already made itself known on the bench: the USB-C connector collects pocket lint exactly as Lightning did, and a fair share of “it won't charge any more” is solved with a clean, not a part.

The move to USB-C is the change you can see, and it arrived by European regulation before it arrived by choice. For repair little changes in substance: the port is still a separate flex, it can be replaced, and as always we first check that it is not simply dirty. The port sits in a pocket all day and lint compacts at the bottom.
The Dynamic Island replaces the notch on the base model too. It houses the same TrueDepth assembly, so the same rule applies as on other recent iPhones — Face ID transfers to the new display, but if the module is damaged there is no part available to independent workshops.
The back is colour-infused glass, not painted: the colour is in the material. Nice to look at, and it keeps the repairable structure introduced with the 14 — the rear panel is still an independent part.
