Vratislav Holub In recent years, Apple fans have been conducting extensive debates about whether Apple should switch from the outdated Lightning to USB-C for its iPhones. However, the Cupertino giant was reluctant to make this change for a long time and tried to stick to its own solution tooth and nail. There is practically nothing to be surprised about. Although Lightning has been with us for over 10 years, it is still a functional, safe and sufficient way to power and sync data. On the other hand, this does not mean that Apple has completely ignored the USB-C connector. Quite the contrary.

Flying around the world with Apple So far, he has switched to it on his Macs and even on iPads. At the end of October, we saw the presentation of the brand new and redesigned iPad 10 (2022), which, in addition to a new design and a more powerful chipset, finally switched to USB-C. At the same time, we should be only a few months away from the change in the case of iPhones. A strong role in this is played by the European Union, which came up with a relatively fundamental change in legislation. All phones, tablets, cameras and other electronics must have a uniform charging standard, for which USB-C was chosen. On the other hand, the truth is that it is a more modern connector with a number of indisputable advantages. His speed is often highlighted above all. Although many people portray it as the greatest benefit of all, apple growers paradoxically do not care so much about it.
Why Apple users want to switch to USB-C
It should be mentioned that normal data synchronization via cable is not used so much today. Instead, people rely on the possibilities of cloud services, especially iCloud, which can automatically transfer data (mainly photos and videos) to our other Apple devices. That is why higher transfer speeds are rather unimportant for most users. On the contrary, what is most important is the overall universality of this connector. Over the last few years, almost most manufacturers have switched to it. thanks to which we can find it all around us. This is the most important feature for the vast majority of apple growers.

After all, this is also the reason why the EU decided to designate USB-C as a modern standard. The primary goal is the reduction of electronic waste, which has a negative impact on the environment. On the contrary, USB-C is practically everywhere around us, thanks to which a single charger with a cable is enough for a series of products. Apple fans know this benefit, for example, from Macs and iPads, which can easily be charged using a single cable. It also brings an advantage when traveling. Without having to carry several different chargers with us, we can solve everything with just one.
When will the iPhone come with USB-C?
Finally, let's answer one important question. When will we actually see the first iPhone with USB-C? According to the EU decision, from the end of 2024, all mentioned devices must have this universal connector. However, leaks and speculation suggest that Apple could react a year earlier. According to the latest information, the next generation iPhone 15 (Pro) should get rid of the older Lightning and instead come with the expected USB-C port. But it is also a question of how it will be in the case of other products that still rely on Lightning today. Specifically, these are various accessories. Among them we could include the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and a number of other products.

Only you journalists can handle it. The one who has an iPhone in his pocket is completely stolen, what kind of connector is there.
Exactly. Apart from the fact that I can't even remember the last time I plugged a wire into an iPhone, I don't really care if it's one end or the other. And that's why I think the new iPhone could easily be without a connector.
It will make me happy there. I have a USB-C HDD box on my desk, a tablet (Wacom) on USB-C and a keyboard, mouse and iPhone on Lightning... And it would be great to have one cable for everything without using an adapter or two cables. But I agree that it doesn't really matter what I charge, it's more about convenience.
