USB-C port is on its way to becoming a standard nowadays. On the Android side, almost all of the manufacturers, regardless of mid-range or flagship, bring their new phones to users with a USB-C port. However, the expectation in the industry: iPhone models with USB-C input have not been released yet.
Apple does not have a negative view of USB-C, it is even among its advocates. It brought together its most popular products from iPad to Macbook with USB-C. In fact, it took a very drastic step by including only USB-C ports in Macbooks in 2016. One end of the charging cables that come out of the box of iPhones is USB-C and the other end is Lightning. Now the expectation of the industry is that both sides are USB-C.
USB-C iPhone models are coming in 2023
While many dates and claims have been made on this subject, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today that Apple will be released in the second half of 2023. He said it will remove the proprietary Lightning port on all or some models of the iPhone 15 series and switch to USB-C.
With this transition, it was stated that the transfer and charging speeds of iPhones would improve, while it was stated in previous statements that disadvantages such as less water resistance would emerge. However, with the pressures made by the European Union recently, the transition to USB-C has become almost mandatory.
The EU continues to move forward with new laws that will force Apple to use USB-C on all iPhone, iPad and AirPods sold in Europe. If such a law is passed, Apple must make an iPhone with USB-C specifically for Europe or switch to this port all over the world.
Exploring the Simulation, Youtube channel is very popular in this regard. Developing the first iPhone with a USB-C port and sharing this process, the channel later did the opposite and came up with an Android phone with a Lightning port. Recently, the video of AirPods with USB-C was released.
Ken Pillonel, who produces the content, or rather modifies these devices, also stated that creating an AirPods case that works with USB-C is more difficult than adding Lightning to an Android phone.
