Apple will ditch its proprietary Lightning port in the second half of the 20th century, according to an Apple analyst.
Apple has kept the Lightning port on the ios 5, even though most of the industry has moved to theusb-c. According to a supply chain survey, Apple will ditch the Lightning port in favor of theusb-c port in 2023. The improvement of transfer speeds, and the improvement of charging speeds, would be achieved by the use of theusb-c.
It was previously said that Apple would be sticking with Lightning for the foreseeable future and that it would be bad for Apple's MiFi business. According to reports, Apple has changed its tone. Pressure being placed upon Apple by the EU is a possible reason for its change of heart.
The EU continues to move forward with passing new legislation that would force Apple to adopt USB-C on all iPhones, iPads, and AirPods sold in Europe. Such legislation, if passed, would require Apple to either ship specially designed USB-C equipped models of its products to Europe while keeping the rest of the world stuck with Lightning or adopt USB-C for all of its products globally.
Most of Apple's iPad lineup already has the ability to transfer data at faster speeds. The Lightning port is a problem for transferring large video and photo files for photographers and cinematographers. It would be easier to transfer files and be supported by a broader range of accessories if we moved to the new format.
It was thought that Apple would keep the Lightning port on the _iPhone_ until it was ready to go port-less. The EU may have forced Apple to rethink its plan to move the ios to ausb-c because of the pressure it was under.
