After many years, Apple will take over the Lightning connector on the iPhone from next year, and its replacement will be nothing more than a standard adopted by the USB-C industry. Or so the well-known analyst of the Cupertian brand Ming-Chi Kuo, according to Mac Rumors, suggests.

Characteristic, USB-C will be the new iPhone 15 connector or rather the iPhone 15, which will go on sale in the second half of 2023. If so, the same is likely to happen with the iPad, although it’s all still analyst forecast … argued differently.

Kuo came to advocate and predict the use of Apple’s Lightning in the “foreseeable future,” as leaving it could hurt the company’s MiFi business. USB Type-C also does not have a waterproof specification of its level.

However, Adopting USB-C would significantly improve the transfer and charging speed of the iPhonein addition to guaranteeing compatibility, which is an advantage over the current model worth thinking about, Kuo now keeps you up to date and is nothing new.

A few weeks ago, he learned of a new impetus that the European Union plans to give to guarantee the universalization of USB-C, and as has been known for a long time, they do not play in Apple’s favor. On the contrary. In fact, if the predictions come true, Apple would be forced to offer USB-C + compatibilityif you want to continue selling in the community space.

Basically, no matter how Kuo contradicts himself, reality supports him and, as we have already mentioned, Apple’s movements with the iPad as well, so it would not be an unusual event, but rather a long-awaited event. Predictions were always more in the style of the dead before the simple, ie one hundred percent wireless than USB-C, but taller towers fell.
