http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2017/02/lightning-to-micro-usb-adapter.jpgThe Wall Street Journal today reported that at least one upcoming iPhone model will include a USB-C port (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/28/iphone-8-oled-screen-usb-c/) instead of a Lightning connector.
If the report is accurate, a single USB-C cable could be used to charge the so-called iPhone 8 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-8/), 12-inch MacBook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/retina-macbook-air/), or the latest MacBook Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) models.People familiar with Apple?s plans said the iPhone releases this year would include two models with the traditional LCDs and a third one with the OLED screen.
They said Apple would introduce other updates including a USB-C port for the power cord and other peripheral devices instead of the company?s original Lightning connector.The Wall Street Journal has historically been a reliable source for iPhone rumors, so there is a good chance the report is true.
Nevertheless, the move towards USB-C has yet to be substantiated by other credible sources, and Apple changing the charging port on iPhones for the second time in five years, after switching from the 30-pin Dock Connector to Lightning connector (https://www.macrumors.com/2012/09/12/apple-an**unces-new-dock-connector-called-lightning/) in 2012, would certainly be a controversial decision.
At least one analyst is **t convinced that Apple will ditch Lightning on its next iPhones, but he does believe USB-C will be in the mix.
Barclays managing director Blayne Curtis told MacRumors that he expects the iPhone 8 to keep its Lightning connector, while he believes that Apple will sell a Lightning to USB-C adapter in European countries to adhere to the European Commission's "one mobile phone charger for all (https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/electrical-engineering/rtte-directive/common-charger_en)" campaign.
This adapter would likely be similar to Apple's female-to-male Lightning to Micro-USB adapter (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD820AM/A/lightning-to-micro-usb-adapter), which allows an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipod-touch/) with a Lightning connector to charge and sync with a micro USB cable. Apple sold a similar 30-pin Dock Connector to Micro-USB adapter (https://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/04/apple-offering-micro-usb-adapters-to-european-customers/) in Europe to adhere to EU policy.
Many consumers have advocated for Apple to ditch its proprietary Lightning connector in favor of USB-C, which has become a standard feature on several Android smartphones, **tebooks, and other devices. Whether it is an all-out USB-C port or yet a**ther adapter, it seems that Apple might be listening.
