The tech giant is finally embracing USB-C — and plans to do away with its exclusive lightning charger.
One charging port for all. It’s official: USB-C has won. Consumers around the world breathed a huge sigh of relief on Tuesday when Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15."The same cable can charge Mac, iPad, iPhone and even Airpods Pro 2nd generation which is updated with USB-C connector," said Kaiann Drance, the VP of iPhone product marketing.
In 1998, Apple launched regular USB cables, then brought in heavy-duty firewire used with the first-ever iPod. You can thank this honking 30-pin connector for causing you to buy endless accessories in the early 2000s. But after 2012, those accessories slowly became worthless after Apple introduced the lightning connector. "There were a lot of iPhone accessories, boom boxes, docks, things like this.
"I can't even tell you how many times my son has an iPad Air and I have an iPhone and I've forgotten one of the two cables on a trip and I got to go to CVS or whatever's closest to me to buy the other cable," Simon said.
