Apple tests iPhones equipped with USB-C charging ports

According to Engadgetreports from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman says that the USB-C adapter being tested by Apple could allow future iPhones to work with accessories designed to accommodate the current Lightning connector. .

That means a Lightning-to-USB-C adapter will help users connect things like credit card readers or plug-in flash drives to an existing iPhone. Gurman’s report notes that if Apple makes changes, the earliest product launch will be in 2023.

The transition to USB-COL for the iPhone is seen as a welcome move. This connection standard is only slightly larger than Lightning but can provide faster power and data transfer speeds. This change could also make life much easier for those who already use USB-C to charge most of their devices but still have to carry around a Lightning cable just to support charging/data transfer to their iPhones. .

Even so, the real impetus for Apple to switch to the new connector is said to come from the recent action of the European Union (EU) after promoting the universal phone charging standard for many years and recently. proposed legislation that would make USB-C a mandatory port for all handheld devices.

Using USB-C for iPhone not only brings convenience to most users using most USB-C devices, but it also makes sense to reduce e-waste even more in the future.
