Apple says goodbye to its its proprietary Lightning port, maybe !

According to Macrumors, Apple will ditch its proprietary Lightning port and switch to USB-C on all or possibly some models of the iPhone 15 lineup destined to launch in the second half of 2023, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said today.

Since the ‌iPhone‌ 5, Apple has kept the Lightning port on the ‌iPhone‌, despite much of the industry moving to USB-C. In a tweet today, Kuo said that the latest supply chain survey indicates that Apple will ditch Lightning in favor of USB-C in 2023. Kuo noted that USB-C would improve transfer speeds on the ‌iPhone‌ and improve charging speeds.

Kuo had previously said that Apple would be sticking with Lightning on the ‌iPhone‌ for the “foreseeable future,” saying that switching to USB-C would be harmful to Apple’s MiFi business and has lesser waterproof specification. Now, Apple has reportedly changed its tone. One possible reason for Apple’s change in heart is pressure being placed upon it by the EU.
