Apple Plans to Ditch the Lightning Port Next Year But Not for USB

This year iPhone 12 could be the last model to feature a Lightning port, but don get your hopes up Apple probably isn making the switch to USB C; coque de protection samsung s5 rather it looks like coque samsung galaxy s6 edge bleu the company may have something else in mind.

Late last year, reputable coque samsung s7 sac analyst coque samsung j6 Ming coque licorne samsung galaxy note 4 Chi Kuo suggested that Apple will offer a premium iPhone with a wireless experience by 2021, although that report made it sound coque samsung s6 edge plus coque huawei mate fille like Apple was planning to ease into the transition with only a single model at first and a high end model no less.

Had this report come from anybody other than Kuo, we would have treated it with a health dose coque fourrure samsung s6 edge of skepticism, but even so it still sounded a bit far fetched, especially for a high end model where users would be expecting faster charging speeds than wireless chargers offer, not to mention compatibility with CarPlay; wireless CarPlay exists, but it hasn been coque samsung s7 ultratec widely adopted, and even coque samsung s7 senna if every single vehicle had coque etui samsung galaxy s7 it by next year (which they won it will easily be five years or more before a majority of CarPlay users would have cars that could take advantage of it.

However, a new rumour surfaced this week suggesting that an iPhone without wires is still on Apple roadmap for the 13 next year, and could actually be implemented across the entire lineup, not just a single model as Kuo suggested.

Shame the USB c prototype iPhone 12′s arent making it to production.

There have coque samsung s7 etuit been rumours of Apple adding the Smart Connector to the iPhone since it first debuted on the 2015 12.9 inch iPad Pro, and despite new reports each year, it has yet to happen, but that doesn coque samsung s7 mean it won Smart ConnectorWhen Apple originally introduced the Smart Connector on the iPad Pro, it was primarily intended to support keyboard accessories like Apple own Smart Keyboard, and although the iPad could also be charged through the Smart Connector, only one accessory was ever released to take advantage of this, Logitech Logi Base, and charging through the Smart Connector was also considerably slower than using a wired connection.

However, with the 2018 iPad Pro, Apple moved the Smart Connector to the rear of the iPad, and appears to have improved the charging speeds somewhere along the coque iphone 8 motif silicone way, as Apple new Magic Keyboard demonstrates.

So the addition of the Smart Connector to next year coque samsung galaxy s7 silicone rose iPhone could solve one of the biggest concerns about eliminating the physical Lightning port by offering the same charging speeds as a wired connection. Custodia Cover Iphone X/XS It would also make it easier for Apple to include an inexpensive charging accessory in the box, rather than needing to bundle an actual Qi wireless charger.

The Smart Connector could also lend itself to a solution for CarPlay users through the use of an adapter, which is an approach that Apple wouldn hesitate to take in much the same way it did when it eliminated the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone. However, it coque transparente iphone 8 motif unclear right now if Apple Smart Connector supports data transfer capabilities the USB C port on Apple Magic Keyboard doesn but we don know whether that a limitation of the Magic Keyboard, the implementation of the Smart Connector on the iPad Pro, or the actual Smart Connector coque iphone xs max ultra slim design.

An even better alternative, though, coque samsung s9 would be for Apple to release a wireless CarPlay adapter. Custodia Cover Iphone 7/8/SE2020 This would coque iphone 8 avec motif carte be a great solution even for those who have the option of using a wired connection, since it would save the hassle of having to plug in your iPhone every time you get in the car. Although you wouldn be able to charge the iPhone this way, many users don need to; after all, before CarPlay, how often did you actually plug your iPhone in to charge when jumping into your car, especially if it was only a short trip

Charging the iPhoneIt worth noting that Ming Chi Kuo didn make any mention of a Smart Connector when he spoke of Apple eliminating the Lightning port entirely next year, but it definitely makes sense that Apple could offer that as an coque intelligente samsung note 8 option. This latest leak suggests that Apple doesn intend for it to be the primary way to charge, however; the expectation is that most users will go with a Qi charger.

for clarification, smart connector thing on 13 series wont be the intended way to charge. Custodia cover Samsung S6 Youll be expected to go wireless charging mainly. Custodia cover Samsung A70 D6x series (iphone 13 series) hasnt really begun proper development yet so iphone magsafe more of a plan atm.

It also worth considering that perhaps Apple rumoured plan to eliminate the EarPods from the iPhone 12 could also be a step in this direction, since of course there will be no point at all in bundling EarPods when there are no ports left at all to plug them into. custodia cover iphone By using iDrop News you agree to our terms and conditions.
