Dan Pražák In recent weeks, rumors have been circulating on the web that this year we will see completely redesigned chargers for the new iPhones and other products that will be introduced after them. After many years, only USB-C compatible chargers should be included with new Apple products, i.e. those that are currently included with, for example, new MacBooks. Until now, it was only speculation, but now there is a clue that could confirm this transition - Apple has secretly made Lightning-USB-C power cables cheaper.

Patrik Siwek The change happened sometime in the past few weeks. Still at the end of March (as you can see in the web archive <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>) Apple offered a meter-long Lightning/USB-C charging cable for 799 crowns, while its longer (two-meter) version cost 1090 crowns. If on official site if you look at Apple now, you will find that the shorter version of this cable costs 'only' 579 crowns, while the longer one is still the same, i.e. 1090 crowns. For the shorter cable, this is a discount of more than 200 crowns, which is definitely a pleasant change for everyone who would like to purchase this cable.

There are certainly plenty of reasons to purchase one. For example, thanks to this cable, it is possible to charge the iPhone from new MacBooks that only have USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 connectors (if you don't want to use different adapters...). The above-mentioned cable currently costs the same as the classic USB-A/Lightning, which Apple has bundled with iPhones and iPads for several years (since the transition from the original 30-pin connector). Another interesting thing is that the discounted cable now also has a different product number. However, few people know if it means anything in practice. In September, in addition to chargers with a new connector, we could also expect chargers that support faster charging. The current ones that you get with the iPhone are standardized at 5W and take a really long time to charge. Many users thus use stronger 12W chargers from iPads, which can charge the iPhone significantly faster. Apple could thus kill two birds with one stone with the new bundled chargers. We'll see in September, but it looks promising.
