After the unveiling of the iPhone 14 in the market, rumors have been swirling that Apple might bring its iPhone 15 series with USB Type-C charging, as per the European Union regulations.
Apple Is Expected To Relaunch iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus With USB-C Charging
Recent rumors are revealing another story about the current iPhone 14 versions, saying they will also be rereleased with new charging connectors.
As September gets closer, the Apple enthusiasts are getting ready for the upcoming release of the newest iPhone launch.
As expected, this time, the iPhone 15 is stealing the show, and it’s expected to usher in a major change with the introduction of USB-C charging.
Besides this the rumors about the iPhone 15 ditching the venerable Lightning connector have been circulating online.
The fresh disclosures point to a wider change that may affect many more iPhones reportedly.
All this information was provided in a tweet by user @aaronp613.
According to the user, the references to six iPhone models, including four probable iPhone 15 variations and two iPhone 14 series models, most likely the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, were concealed within the tvOS 17 beta code.
Switching To USB-C Charging
It appears that the iPhone maker who has been using the Lightning port on its iPhones since 2012, has made a huge adjustment by switching to USB-C charging.
Apple has already signaled a recognition of changing industry standards and a probable departure from the Lightning cord, with the release of the iPad Pro in 2018.
While that being said, the iPhone still had a Lightning connector when all iPad models had switched over to USB-C charging.
But with this latest move to comply with the EU rule before it goes into force 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 in enabling the business to standardize billing across all of its product lines, again benefitting the customers.
But we can not 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.
