The joke in the tech circle is that Apple will drop the ports before even considering the switch tousb-c on the iPhone lineup. The real is about to happen. According to the analyst, Apple might give us a Type-C port on the iPhone 15 in 2023.
In a pair of posts, he said that his survey shows that Apple will drop the Lightning port in favor of the USB-C port. Component manufacturers could be included in the survey, which could include information about the future Apple products.
Existing suppliers of Apple's ecosystem, such as IC controller, are expected to become the market's focus in the next one to two years.
The analyst has a good track record, but we are still skeptical about Apple adopting theusb-c for the iPhone since we have been hearing rumors about the idea for years. The iPad lineup and many Macs are compatible with both theusb-c and the Lightning port, despite the fact that the iPhone-maker has been hell-bent on sticking to the Lightning port.
The change could happen because of the pressure built by policymakers. The EU is considering a proposal that would make certain electronic items mandatory. You'll be able to charge your devices using a single type of charger if you have a standardusb port across all electronics.
There is no reason to think that the EU will not adopt this motion. If Apple wants to sell its products in Europe, it will have to shift its products into alignment for at least two years.
