They didn't bother making a non-USB C iPhone for the US because it was easier to have one model. Could easily be the same. Plus the it's hard to argue they couldn't do it when they have done it in the EU.

    Oh, you don't understand. US customers expect their phones to survive one month at a water depth of 11 km, so sadly it is impossible to let them have easily repairable batteries ... /s
