Due to new EU guidelines, Apple will soon have to say goodbye to the conventional Lightning connector and switch to a USB-C port. A few days ago, the rumor mill finally boiled over when allegedly leaked images of just that USB-C connection appeared on the net. You can see alleged circuit board parts for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. According to reports from the English-language websites Notebookcheck and Techradar, the iPhone 14 should also be affected by the change.
Customers can currently still purchase the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 from the official Apple website. It therefore seems likely that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be the phones that will remain in the market after September and the directive’s entry into force. Judging by the naming of these unreleased models, it appears that they come with the Apple A15 Bionic chip found in the two cheaper iPhone 14 models, rather than the A16 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max drives.
Apple developer @aaronp613 also believes that due to recent code changes, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, which also use the A15 Bionic chip, will also transition to USB-C. However, it is important to emphasize that such rumors should always be treated with a degree of caution. Any remaining questions should be answered soon, because Apple is expected to present the new devices to the public at a launch event on September 12th or 13th.
