Cable unification across all products seems closer than ever. And that’s what’s curious is that in mid-2022 we find that some devices continue to bet on standards like microUSB when it is clear that USB-C is the connector of the future.
Yes, significant progress has been made compared to previous years. In fact, even mid-range phones come with USB-C this year. But just because progress has been made does not mean that we have reached the end of the road. A perfect example that there is still a long way to go is the case of the iPhone..
Apple is a company that finds it hard to make changes, and it shows in its products, like the butterfly keyboard that they integrated into their laptops and had to be abandoned after a couple of generations. Now the future is represented by the loss of the characteristic port of these devices.
No, we are not talking about the headphone port since it disappeared from these mobile phones a few years ago. We are referring to the Lightning port, whose days seem to be numbered in Apple mobile devices.. Of course, the changes won’t be as quick or drastic as some expect. In fact, we will have to wait a bit.
The latest rumors comment and make it clear that The first iPhone with a USB-C port will arrive in 2023 and it will be the iPhone 15.. So if you’re hoping that the iPhone coming out this fall will ditch Lightning, the truth is you’re better off giving up any hope.
Of course, it’s still interesting to see how Apple has already ditched the Lightning port in several of its products. like the company’s tablets. Indeed, their most powerful computers use a large number of USB-C ports. Why does the iPhone keep working with the Lightning port?
The truth is that there is no definitive answer to this, and it is one of those mysteries that will never be solved. Now all that’s left is to look into the future to see everything that having a USB-C port on the iPhone will mean. Rumors suggest that the data transfer rate will be improved.
That’s not all, as charging speeds will also improve when moving from a Lightning port to USB-C. For now, we can only be aware of any rumors that pop up about this so we can let you know as soon as possible.
