After the introduction of the iPhone 14 in the market, rumors have circulated that Apple may bring its iPhone 15 series with USB Type-C charging, according to the regulations of the European Union.
A new version of iPhone 14 models with USB-C charging protocols may be released! But why?
Apple expected to relaunch iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus with USB-C charging
Recent rumors are breaking another story about the current versions of the iPhone 14, saying that they will also be re-released with new charging connectors.
As September approaches, Apple enthusiasts are gearing up for the upcoming release of the new iPhone.
Unsurprisingly, this time around, the iPhone 15 is stealing the show, expected to usher in a major change with the introduction of USB-C charging.
In addition to this, rumors of the iPhone 15 ditching the venerable Lightning connector have been making the rounds online.
The new revelations point to a broader change that may reportedly affect many more iPhones.
All this information was provided in a tweet by the user @aaronp613.
According to the user, references to six iPhone models, including four probable iPhone 15 variations and two iPhone 14 series models, likely the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, were hidden within the tvOS 17 beta code.
Switch to USB-C charging
It looks like the iPhone maker, which has been using the Lightning port on its iPhones since 2012, has made a big adjustment by switching to USB-C charging.
Apple has already signaled an acknowledgment of changing industry standards, and a likely departure from the Lightning cable, with the release of the iPad Pro in 2018.
That said, the iPhone still had a Lightning connector when all iPad models switched to USB-C charging.
But with this latest move to comply with the EU rule before it takes effect in 2024 by relaunching some of the current iPhone 14 models with USB-C charging, Apple is probably trying to get ahead of the curve.
This will help allow the company to standardize billing across all of its product lines, again benefiting customers.
But we can’t deny the driving forces behind this change, as the European Union has been working diligently to establish a mandate requiring all consumer electronics to adopt a common charging port: USB-C.
