As the time when “iPhone 11” series will be released approaches, rumors and expectations surrounding the next Apple products are being churned out than ever. Reliable websites such as Bloomberg and 9to5 Mac suggest that new iPhone 11 will have some changes — the third wide-angle camera, the reverse wireless charging system, new multi-angle Face ID sensor, enhanced water resistance, upgraded video recording capabilities as well as OLED screens. Other features will remain the same: the handsets will look identical to the ones we have and the screen size will not be bigger or smaller; the resolution across the entire lineup is the same with prior phones; and the lightning charging port will still be kept.
For the last part, though somewhat disappointing that Apple doesn’t join in the mainstream of USB-C port, we have to admit that the lightning charging connector hasn’t brought us any inconvenience. Furthermore, lightning is superior to USB-C in some aspects — it’s smaller and exclusively owned by Apple. As long as someone mentions lightning, the first thing appearing in mind must be Apple and iPhone. For many traditional Apple fans, the keeping of lightning connector means that Apple is still the one they are most familiar with.
Some say that USB-C will not be applied on iPhone this year, but it will next year. Evidence is that except for iPhone, many Apple’s other product lines including Macbook and iPad have USB-C port, and the high transfer speed, the international plug design and the true universality make the trend of USB-C irresistible. Maybe just like the discussion on whether or not removing headphone jack, USB-C and lightning will coexist in Apple for the time being. The good news: this year on September 10th, Apple could include a Lightning to USB-C cable and an 18W wall adapter in the box together with the iPhone 11, which would ease those who are at loss trying to connect their iPhone to other USB-C supported devices.
