10 years ago today, Apple introduced the iPhone 5 with an all-new Lightning port, replacing the old 30-pin dock port. Phil Schiller, Apple's former marketing chief, described Lightning as a "modern connection" for the next decade.
Apple is expected to switch to theusb-c for the next generation of its phones next year.
Every Mac and iPad that Apple sells, as well as the Studio Display, Pro Display XDR, some Beats headphones, and a few other accessories, are offered with the addition of the newusb-c port. The 10th-generation entry-level iPad is rumored to include a MagSafe battery pack and charging cases.
In June, the European Union announced that it reached an agreement to introduce a new law that would make the common charging port for all new phones, tablets, headphones, and many other electronic devices by fall 2024.
The first cable that could be used to charge multiple devices was the lightning cable. Faster data transfer speeds are one of the major benefits of the iPhone, as Lightning on the 13 and earlier tops out at 480 Mbps, while the newer version of the device can achieve up to 10 Gbps.
