A decade later, Apple is still expected to rely on Lightning for the iPhone 14 lineup later this fall. <\/p>\n<p>However, Apple has moved most of the iPad lineup from Lightning to USB-C, and MacBook computers have used USB-C charging for over five years. Apple uses USB-C in all its chargers, including new iPhones. <\/p>\n<p>Matching what Ming-Chi Kuo predicted earlier this week, <em>Bloomberg <\/em>reports that while Apple is internally testing an iPhone design with USB-C in favor of Lightning, the change won&#8217;t come before next year. That puts the change on the so-called iPhone 15 lineup that would likely arrive in September 2023. <\/p>\n<p>The report cites pressure from regulators in Europe that could force Apple to adopt a standard used by other smartphone makers as one reason for investigating the switch. <\/p>\n<p>Another factor could be <\/p>\n<p>Data data transfer speed. The company could reduce engineering effort to improve USB-C transfer speeds. This would help keep Lightning&#8217;s performance competitive. Apple is rumored to boost Lightning data transfer rates to USB 3.0 starting with the iPhone 14 Pro this fall, but iPads using USB-C already appreciate the benefits of quicker transfer rates. <\/p>\n<p><em>Bloomberg <\/em>also mentions that Apple is developing a Lightning to USB-C adapter to keep compatibility between connection types. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><!-- youtube embed -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/05\/usb-c-iphone-15.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2022\/05\/13\/iphone-15-usb-c\/<\/div>\n<p><\/wordaidoc><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg backs report that iPhone 15 may switch to USB-C charging port next year Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared two days ago that evidence points to Apple replacing its own Lightning charging port with the universal USB-C connection.
