Apple announced its iPhone 14 models on its “Far Out” event on September 7. The base models are more like polished iPhone 13 iterations, retaining the A15 Bionic chip and wide notch as usual. At the same time, the iPhone 14 Pro models pack some exciting upgrades, including the new A16 Bionic processor and the pill-shaped notch called “Dynamic Island”.
In the aspect of physical connection, all the iPhone 14 models still don’t feature the long-awaited USB-C port. Instead, all the new phones stick to the proprietary Lightning connector, which has been used by Apple for ten years. In the box, you have a USB-C to Lightning cable. There aren’t headphones or a Lightning to headphone jack connector.
Actually, the EU agreement has been out for years that all smartphones are required to use the same charging port: USB-C. It is aimed at minimizing e-waste, and for the consumers, they can also benefit from it without the need to carry multiple cables and chargers on the go.
When will we have an iPhone with USB-C connector
Despite the pressure from the EU ruling, Apple has been reluctant to switch over from its proprietary connector, possibly due to the reason that it is trying to make its own ecosystem more stable and unique. When should we expect a USB-C on iPhone? Taking a look at other Apple devices, you can see that Apple firstly introduced a MacBook that only offers USB-C ports for both charging and dongles. Till now, all MacBooks have USB-C connections, USB-C has been applied to nearly all iPad models. That is to say, Apple is forced to shift to the new standard gradually.
According to the reliable LeaksApplePro, all iPhone 15 models will come with USB-C. While the EU legislation clearly requires all mobile devices to use USB-C ports for wired charging “by autumn 2024”, which will apply to smartphones, tablets, cameras, headphones, handheld video game consoles, e-readers and more. So if you want an iPhone with USB-C port, iPhone 15 would be your first choice.
