Rumor: iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may get USB Type-C instead of Lightning
Several sources at once report that in next year iPhone 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max models may be equipped with a USB connector Type-C instead of Lightning.
Why?
There are several reasons for this. At first, transfer ProRes video... If you transfer it to PC via Lightning port - this is a very painful process. A here via USB it takes only a couple of minutes.
Secondly, a good reason is new EU law... According to him, in within two years, all smartphones should switch to single USB connector Type-C... By the way, Apple has repeatedly opposed this, assuring that a single standard will stifle innovation, create a large amount of e-waste and even annoy consumers. Apparently, protests are protests, and make changes and obey the EU decision all will have to.
True, judging by Apple's experience it is excluded that through a couple of years the company will stop putting in the box of new devices only charger, but and cable - he same one, so why increase the number "electronic waste"?
