Wild Rumor Claims Apple Might Skip USB-C And Go For A Completely Portless iPhone

Ever since Apple introduced the iPad Pro with USB-C, many have been wondering when the company could bring USB-C to the iPhone. It makes a lot of sense for them to do that, especially since USB-C is now beingness used by more than devices around the world, plus Apple tree'south MacBooks have ditched legacy ports in favor of USB-C.

Basically, all signs betoken towards this being the next logical stride. However, a tweet past FrontPageTech's Jon Prosser has dashed our hopes of seeing a USB-C iPhone. According to Prosser, Apple will not be bringing USB-C to its iPhones. Instead, Apple will apparently choose to ditch all ports and go completely wireless.

Prosser's tweet might sound rather outlandish, merely we should point out that dorsum in 2019, notable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had stated that in 2021, Apple tree could be launching a completely wireless iPhone. This means that Apple tree will not just ditch the Lightning port, but will skip using USB-C entirely. Instead, the device will presumably rely on wireless charging.

I experience like I shouldn't have to say this, but no — there'southward absolutely not USB-C in iPhone 12.

Apple will become portless before they go USB-C.

Information technology sounds like a bold motility, although we imagine that it could exist rather inconvenient. This means that iPhone users who need to accuse on the go volition need to bring effectually a wireless charger and look for wall outlets instead of simply using a battery pack. Needless to say that you should probably have this with a grain of salt, merely if you were hoping for a USB-C iPhone, you could be disappointed.
