Earlier this week, Guo Mingyu, a well-known Apple analyst at Tianfeng securities, said that Apple plans to release at least one iPhone 15 model with usb-c interface in 2023 Now, in a follow-up tweet, he claims that accessories such as airpods, MagSafe battery pack and magic keyboard / mouse / trackpad three piece set will also be switched to usb-c in the "foreseeable future"
IPhone and all of the above accessories Currently rely on Apple Proprietary lightning connector for wired charging and / or data transmission. Switching to usb-c will bring more universal connection standards and meet the requirements of EU regulators, because a variety of technology products are equipped with usb-c interfaces, including many Android smartphones and even the latest MacBook S and iPad Pro, iPad air and ipad Mini models.
Guo Mingyu also said that due to the limitations of current wireless technology and the immaturity of Apple's own MagSafe wireless accessories ecosystem, it is too early for apple to release the Portless iPhone.
