Do yourself a favour and just buy a magnetic adapter + cable such as Baseus magnetic zinc [1]

You will:

- save money to buy new phone (cable costs just ~10$)

- it's magnetic so even more convenient to use

- magnetic adapter protects connector from dust getting inside or getting broken

- you use the same cable with adapters for usb-c, lightning and micro-usb to charge different gadgets (even older airpods pro)

- at least baseus cable supports both fast charging (20W) and data transfer (usb 2.0)

If cable brakes (at it did brake for me after ~1 year of use) you just buy new one for 10$ instead of new phone for 1000$. Keeping old phone is the most environmentally friendly option.

non-pro iphone 15 usb-c is still just 2.0 speed and most likely doesn't support usb-otg
