According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is testing USB-C iPhones, backing up recent rumors from other sources.

This is far from the first time that we’ve seen rumors about Apple making the switch. In fact, Apple has already adopted USB-C connectors on the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini. It was seemingly only a matter of time before the iPhone caught on too. Gurman also notes that Apple has been working on a portless iPhone in recent years. This would eliminate the need for any charging cables, but no recent rumors or leaks seem to indicate that the portless iPhone is anywhere near ready.If Apple does indeed opt to abandon Lightning, it will have far less control over the accessory market. As Gurman notes in his report, Apple charges accessory makers to use the Lightning connector and also makes them go through a strict approval process.

While I see the befits of them switching to USB-C, I disagree with your statement about them resisting just to keep control. Their point about stifling innovation by requiring all manufacturers to use the same ports/cables is valid. 1/2
