According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is testing USB-C iPhones, backing up recent rumors from other sources.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is currently testing iPhones that replace the Lightning connector with a USB-C port. Gurman claims that if even Apple does decide to go through with this change, it won’t happen until 2023 at the earliest. This might suggest that the iPhone 15 will be the first USB-C iPhone to hit store shelves. Gurman’s report comes just a few days after analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared similar news on Twitter. The responses to one of Kuo’s supply chain surveys brought him to the conclusion that Apple is planning to ditch Lightning in favor of USB-C on the iPhone launching in the second half of 2023. That would undoubtedly be the iPhone 15. This is far from the first time that we’ve seen rumors about Apple making the switch.
