Apple was shown that the USB-C port could be used with iPhones

Although the EU has been pressing to use standard connectors for some time, Apple is still unwilling to move to the widely used USB-C port for its phones.

However, a creative filmmaker came up with a solution and demonstrated to the company that an iPhone could work with USB-C as well. Since the iPhone 4, Apple has used the Lightning connector on its phones. While many people are happy that iPads and Macbooks have transitioned to USB-C, iPhones have been hesitant to do so.

Therefore there are various sorts of cables in the ecosystem. Users have a requirement. The EU recently approved legislation mandating single connectors, but since manufacturers have had ample time to make a move, Apple won’t have to worry for long.

There’s a significant probability that there will be portless phones by the time I force Apple to replace the Lightning. Thus we may never see a USB-Cs iPhone officially, even though the option is there. This was recently demonstrated by a cameraman named Kenny Pi, who changed the connector on an iPhone X with some soldering, 3D printing, and screwing and a lot of talent and who knows what techniques.

Here’s the first iPhone USB-C port:

So far, only a short, entertaining film of the procedure and the result has been produced; however, a more extended version will be made in which the process will be shown in greater detail.

However, it turns out that the USB-C connector may be used for both charging and data transfer, which may not seem like a significant concern at first, but it wasn’t easy to solve.
