Bloomberg: Apple Already Testing USB-C for iPhone

from trusted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo that claim Apple will finally be ditching its proprietary Lightning connector for the more widely supported USB-C standard in future iPhones, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is adding some credibility of his own to the rumor. Earlier today, he reported that “people with knowledge of the situation” tell him that testing toFor those tired of juggling dozens of different cables, this is pretty great news.

Let’s not give Apple too much praise for this potential move, though. When Kuo made his initial leak, which was based on a survey amongst his own industry sources, he was doing so shortly after the EU’s Market and Consumer Protection Committeethat would force companies to adopt USB-C on all small and medium-sized gadgets.

Despite making the Universal Serial Bus port truly universal, this change would also provide those gadgets with the faster transfer and charging speeds that USB-C boasts. USB-C cables, being a newer standard than Lightning, can transfer data at up to 40Gbps, whereas Lightning still tops out around USB 2’s max speed of 480 Mbps. Much of Apple’s ecosystem circumvents this by focusing on downloads, but it’s clear that Lightning is getting a little long in the tooth at this point.

. Still, while a swap to USB-C would be a boon to anyone just switching to Apple, it might be a thorn in the side of anyone who’s already deeply bought into the Apple ecosystem. Third-party accessory makers, who create devices such as chargers and car adapters, would also need to redesign their products if theBut any changes, according to Bloomberg, wouldn’t occur until “2023 at the earliest.” Note that when we reported on Kuo’s leak, we mentioned the iPhone 15, not the iPhone 14.

I'm not a hater, I just think Apple will never change. They will make some aspect of it proprietary.

Noooooooooo. My charging arsenal is finally perfect. Stop changing wires for no good reason

Welcome to this decade Apple.

The Air iPad 2021 already has USB C.
