Apple’s new iPhone uses USB-C charger and Lightning cable

Both the iPad Pro and the MacBook series have begun to use the USB-C interface, but there have been many rumors about which interface Apple will use for its new iPhone. According to Japanese blog Mac Otakara on April 27, the new iPhone has three models that are identical to those released last year, but may use a faster charging 18W USB-C charger and a USB-C to Lightning charging cable.

For now, Apple may not be ready to give up the Lightning charging cable, but it has begun to try to make it easier for iOS users. However, although Apple has been designing mobile phones with fast charging since the iPhone 8, the new smartphones continue to use the same 5W iPhone chargers as before.

Last year, the new version of the iPad Pro took the lead in using the USB-C interface in Apple products and adopted a faster charging 18W charger. The Mac Rumors website said that to use the charger on the iPhone, users need to spend about $50 to buy an 18W charger and a Lightning to USB-C charging cable. However, using this kind of equipment is a smart choice, which can bring faster charging speed to the new iPhone and retain the Lightning interface. In addition, this will mean that users will be able to connect their phones directly to Mac laptops without having to purchase new data lines in the future.
