Apple May Ship USB-C Charger And Lighting Cable With The New iPhone

With MacBook and iPad Pro switch to USB-C to make them more compatible with a wider range of accessories and hubs, the question that trouble the public now is what kind of connector iPhones will have. It is believed that Apple does not have the same intention for the handset.

We will have the chance to see the real thing in September, but in the meantime, what we have now is the rumor Mac Otakara told us. According to the blog, the new iPhone will be the third in line with last year’s launch and it may not have a USB-C port onboard. What we believe now is it will feature an 18W USB-C charger as well as a Lightning to USB-C cable.

That projection has a solid base as it does not seem like Apple wants to move on from the Lighting but it still wants to make users’ experience more pleasant. The reasons why the company pairs the 5W cube charger with its newer smartphones for many years while since the iPhone 8, it has included the fast charging feature, are still shrouded in mystery.

In 2018, the iPad Pro came with USB-C, marking the arrival of this port to Apple’s tablet, as well as an 18W charger. According to MacRumors, if you want to use that kind of charger, users will have to pay around $50 (about Rs. 3.481) for an 18W charger along with the Lightning to USB-C adapter. Now if we have the whole pack in the box, users can take advantage of the fast charging feature while Apple keeps the Lighting port to make future switch easier.

Another good piece of news for iOS users who have more than one Apple device is you may connect your phone to the Mac without purchasing a whole new cable just to do it.
