Next Generation iPhone May Still Have Lightning Port, 5W USB Charger [Report]

Apple's next generation iPhone may not get updated with a USB-C port after all, says Macotakara. To keep costs the same, Apple will purportedly bundle the same EarPods with Lightning connector and the same 5W USB charger with each new iPhone.

If the next iPhone is changed with USB-C connecter specification, USB-C cable, New EarPods with USB-C Connector must be packed together with it and i needs to change USB power adapter as well as 18W USB-C power adapter. At present, in addition to the fact that USB PD charging is possible using the L connector, they have their sights set on maintaining the third-party USB-C - Lightning cable business. Those connected with the accessory manufacturers predict that the possibility that the next generation iPhone USB-C connector will be adapted is becoming low.

Following Apple's move to USB-C and an 18W charger for its new iPad Pros, many users were hoping the company would do the same with its next generation iPhones. Although today's report is disheartening, plans could change ahead of the 'iPhone XI' unveiling this fall.
