Why iPhones Don't Use USB-C
Vložit

- In the past five years, USB-C has become the go-to connector for a wide range of devices. It’s used on most android phones, notebooks, tablets, game consoles, headphones, and even accessories like mice, keyboards, and external storage drives. But when it comes to Apple’s most popular product, the iPhone, USB-C has yet to be adopted. Instead, every model of iPhone still uses a Lightning connector that was introduced eight years ago with the iPhone 5. This has led people to wonder why Apple hasn’t transitioned the iPhone to USB-C, especially for a company who has a reputation of being the first to adopt new standards. So in this video, I’m going to explain why Apple hasn’t transitioned the iPhone to USB-C, and what that means for their users.

Imagine being a company that makes so much weird decisions that there's an entire CZcams channel that does nothing but try to explain them
many*
And these same weird decisions make the company one if not the most famous and most successful company in the world will 😂
@@racerguy3972 Nope, the reason they are successful is that they cornered the market on the first popular touch sensitive slab computer and know how to make a cult out of waiting every year for the next incrementally updated electronic slab. All the other stuff like keeping their own weird connector and not including a charger is just to make money and wouldn't fly if they weren't so dominant.
@@archieames1968 I know that nowadays we are made fun of saying this, called Apple fanboy etc, but for me Apple is the best electronics company in the world at all levels be it design, power, camera, the dictation of new trends and especially the Apple's big strength that makes it light years away from competitors is the ecosystem, which is why it is the most dominant, sold is famous electronics company
@@racerguy3972 I’m definitely not saying that Apple is 100% bad, I’m writing this comment using an iPad Pro so I use their products and I like them, but still, they do make some weird and meaningless decisions we can’t deny that.
I’m pretty sure the EU is forcing them to move to USB-C, unless they move away from ports entirely.
don't underestimate the power of lobbying and money :')
@@neolordie That doesn't work in Europe. They already have a law to make electric car chargers universal, no more proprietary bs plus it will help to standardize charging stations.
@@May16Joe well check out iphone 13 line up still using lightening.. Even if they force I am pretty much sure they will remove the connector port itself.. Again don't underestimate the power of money..
@@vamsikrishna1995 they just introduced the legislation, and according to it, for charging for more than than 15W a connector port must be available. So Apple cannot simply remove the port unless they want all iPhones to wireless charge at slow speeds.
@@edipires15 they actually made a official proposal for it
You forgot one important point: as long as they use lightning, they can charge every accessory maker that uses the port.
USB-C has a male & female connection on both sides of the port, this makes it alot more prone to debris than a solid male to female connection like lightning. Apple chooses to keep lightning because it is more durable. Example: take a cup of dirt or sand, jam a USB-C cable into it and try to plug it into a port.. it won't, it will be clogged because it has that female end on both sides. You can do that same thing with a lightning cable, shake it off real quick and easily still plug it into the phone, this is once again because it is a solid male connection, there's no "hole" on the inside of the lightning port like there is USB-C. This is a test that has actually been done internally, Now alot of people simply think about ohhhhh what charges faster?! The fact is the majority of people don't need a 65w megacharge or whatever, most people just charge their phones at night. So in order for the phone to last for several years, it is a better long-term view for Apple to use a solid male connection (such as lightning) over a male+female combo connection like USB-C. Samsung plans on you replacing your phone every year, that's why they barely get 1-2 years of updates, whereas Apple is STILL updating the iPhone 6s from 2015.. Apple looks more at long term durability than any other manufacturer does.
EDIT: Someone may ask "but why then use USB-C for the non-pocketable devices like iPad?" Good question, that was done since non-pocketable devices such as the iPad are alot less prone to debris/lint than a phone that is always in a pocket that may become dirty. That's why the iPhone specifically needs that solid male to female connection, and seems to work fine for iPads as they generally never leave the home. Unfortunately if Apple buckles to the pressure and puts USB-C on iPhone, you would see a drop in the overall durability of the iPhone over years.
@@brewergamer That is an interesting thought, but I don't think that it is convincing. First off, although the cable is male, the phone port is female. The point about the iPhone itself beeing more durable is therefore not valid. Only the cable is more durable as a male connector. That can be replaced and has nothing to donwith how pockatable the device is. Also, the lightning cable is insanely slow by nowadays standards. That is just not worth it and for antablet that is supposed to work as anwork station, it is too inferior.
1. you didn't mention the most important reason Apple still hasn't moved on from Lightning: they make huge amounts of money selling Lightning cables and accessories
2. wireless charging actually wears off your phone way more, since it's not as efficient and heats up your device more
This dude is so full of sh!t lmao.
He is not even making any sense.
Apple decided to not go with the Type C in order for not getting any backlash in 2014, ok fine now it's been 10 years and they even changed the charge battery speed so people would anyway change they power bricks and cables so why not use that chance? Plus they didn't stutter a second when they had to remove the brick even if they had just changed the cable to Type C - lighting all of a sudden, forcing people to get a new brick that wasn't included in the box if they wanted to use the new cable lmao, all this for the environment and yet they are now opting to transition to a wireless charger that is much lesser eco-friendly since like 40% of the energy is wasted entirely.
This is all bullcrap, don't act like there aren't adapters from Micro USB to Type C for people to keep their old cable, they could provide the adapter in the box for the first year to ease the transition from lighting to Type C, plus I'm sure if they included a Type C in the box they would get almost no backlash since now Type C is the most common cable and many people who use iPhones also use iPads now own a Type C cable so they wouldn't be that mad to have a better cable included.
All in all this is just bullshit to justify Apple, but the only reason they keep lighting is because the sales of the cables and the royalties they earn from lighting accounts for billions of dollars in revenue each year, and who the f cares about the environment or customers if they earn billions from it, and the same is gonna be for magsafe since its their patent again. He is fooling million of people with this video that lacks a lot of common sense.

It makes even less sense considering the iPad Pro uses USB C.
And iPad Air now
Yeah bc im gonna get both and i have to have different cards
You have to remember that iPhones and iPads are mostly used for different tasks
@@JPS13Laptop They're still being very anti-consumer. It's one thing having a different charger to other companies. But having different chargers between your own devices (and many people will have both IPhone and iPad), is just plain ridiculous.
@@HarryParkin I mean I have to say I'm not surprised. Apple won't do something if they don't think it's needed or they can't do it the way that they want to. Also I take it that Apple switching the iPad over to USB-C wasn't an easy call either.
Real reason:
The millions they make off the lightning cable’s licensing fee.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Bro literally the only reason if they made the transition they are upgrading the capabilty of the connector. I understand his first point a bit but thats apples fault for not keeping the bulky design for a little longer they recieved more backlash over that then they would have if they kept the og connector and then went right to usb c
When you make 100+ Billions, millions is a rounding error

They removed the charger for "environmental purposes" but is supposedly transitioning to wireless charging which isn't environmentally friendly since it's highly inefficient.
Also the extra packaging buying a new brick and the fact that you'll end up having two bricks anyway
@@thanosman3491 im sure though less than half of iPhone users buy a charging brick unless they are dumb. Apple was right thatq majority of consumers throw away their bricks when they got a new one. A lot of consumers refuse to use their old stuff cause they think they need a new one. So ignore my first sentence.
wireless chargers last longer than wired chargers, since wired chargers fray. I guess you can consider wireless to be environmentally friendly since it doesn't cause as much stuff to be in landfills.
@@andrewkim2013 less stuff? What about the actual wireless charging pad which connects to the cord
@@thanosman3491 i don't think those charging pads get broken as quickly as a charging wire. I agree with you guys that they're saying "it's for the environment" when it's really for the money. But there are some ways that wireless charging is more environmental than wired charging

I'm pretty sure no one will be angry when usb-c comes... they'll be like: finallyyy!!
iPhone fans yes, but all the other people will point to the mistake - they had to implement type-C years ago
I don’t see why people are angry about lightning on them. You buy their product, you pay for differences. The lightning charger is theirs and you own an iphone so just use it
@@evanshireman5644 the point is that theres no good reason for them to use lightning anymore except to force iphone users to get a different charger
@@Maxawa0851 but you don't have to get a "different" charger, you own an iphone so it wouldn't be different to the phone.

“Will the iPhone ever transition to USB-C?”
Apple: Nah, we make bank with lightning accessories
EU: Hold my beer
"They'd face backlash on all their accessories going obsolete"
> This wouldn't be as true for USB-C, since replacements for 95% of accessories exist already, and are cheap, so people won't have to spend a boatload on new accessories
Yeah, not to mention that going portless is going to cause even more backlash, and all the old accessories are going to become obsolete that way as well.
Yeah apple does not seem to care about backlash.
They dont wanna change because if they change to USB-C, they cant monopolize the sales for that because USB-C is everywhere. Its all about money
Even as an Apple fan, why did there have to be lightning cables, just use USB-C
@@mr.preston1632 The USB-C standard wasn't ready by the time they wanted to ditch the 30-pin in the iPhone 5 (was too thick), and they didn't want to wait 2 years until it would be released.
fun fact: apple could've just included a adapter to make the transition to lightning not matter because ppl would still be able to use thier old gadgets. and they could do this with transition to USB c too

@Brewergamer and lightning ports cant get dirty? I have a few problems with this.
First, Planned obsolescence is something that most phone companies have been doing for literal years at this point, Samsung does it, LG did it I'm fairly sure Google does it, and yes, Apple does it. Apple wants you to buy the newest phone every year too. They flat out admitted to throttling older phones with software updates.
Second, USB-C is much more durable and dust resistant than you give it credit for, I have a switch, which uses USB-C and its dock has been sitting with the port facing up, without a cover, for almost a year, the connection not only works, but fits in just as well as it did when i bought the thing, and i bought it for playing handheld specifically.
Third, USB-C is not just about power delivery, its about data transfer as well. right now it takes nearly an hour to back up my phone to itunes, which makes sense because lightning is stuck with USB 2.0 speeds. USB-C is a USB 3.0/3.1/whatever USB is naming their standards compliant standard, meaning it can transfer data much faster than the 480MBit/s that lightning offers. 10Gbit/s is the max for USB 3.1 gen 2)

Bruh 😂
@Waxy mix except in this case the answer literally is they want money.
@Waxy mix
They'd switch already if it wasn't money. Go look up how much they make from mifi.
Pretty sure there's more backlash from not using USB-C than there would be for finally using USB-C
Also fun fact, Apple's "environmentally friendly" approach is just for money grabs, it's actually making the situation worse if you think about it
@JERRY tm exactly, people also have to buy separate wires, cases and probably headphones. Just imagine how much plastic and boxes are used.
@JERRY tm if 100 people buy a new iphone, 25-30 of them would buy a charging brick. but if you put it back into the box, it's more waste of space. also an example. i'm gonna by a new iphone next month, (i am using iphone 7 right now), and i have a 30W charger from my ipad, i don't need a new one.
I am just a few Vids and already think he cant say anything negative about Apple. No matter what they do.
And that’s exactly why people like iPads and Macs since they have only USB C and nothing else. Who needs that old USB A?
@@aninditabasak7694 true
well...this is awkward..
Well this aged pretty well
True
Holding on to Lightening is infuriating at this point.
Little known fact: Apple designed the USB-C connectors for their laptops.
It’s insane to know that Apple thinks switching iPhones to usb-c would be a PR nightmare when in fact it’s the complete opposite.
Yeah, pretty much everyone has a type-c in their homes, even apple users. Fuck Apple.
@lola baldo no, i don't believe you. If it's because you use only apple, even some apple products have type-c connectors, so it's impossible you never heard of them.
But all of this doesn't matter since, if it's true, you still represent an exception.
@lola baldo oh. I understand now. Is that your first phone? Sorry for my previous comment, if that's the case 😓
I think what the video meant was that if they switched to USB-C in 2014, only two years after switching to Lightning, that would be a PR nightmare as it’s a big ask to your consumers to potentially switch cables twice in the span of 3 years.
So they chose to wait out on USB-C while other Android phones took the lead in that. But by the time it would’ve been enough time that it would make sense to make another switch, Apple was just was no longer interested in switching. Both because so many other companies “beat them to the punch” but also because that way they can feed into their idea of an isolated Apple ecosystem. It’s impossible to leave the ecosystem without ditching every single Apple product you own, nowadays, and lightning still being used in a lot of their products is a symptom of that business strategy.
But sure, if they were to switch to it in the next iPhone, it would no longer be a PR nightmare because it has been an entire decade since lighting, and they sort already started a kind of transition with the iPhone 12, and the iPad and MacBook lineups. But it’s clear that USB-C is not the direction their going for with the future of iPhones.
@lola baldo usb c from a dollar store is fast,while lightning at the dollar store is.WELL CRAP.
Well this aged well lol
The problem with no cable inputs at all is what would happen if you don’t have a wireless charger? Would you have to buy one separately? Or what about plugging it into your pc? I guess you could try to use Bluetooth but wires are the way to go in my opinion and switching to usb type c would be the best option for easy compatibility with other devices and chargers.

Well it technically is a innovation for iPhone, right?
You wouldn’t have USB-C without Apple at all.
They are never adding USB C to the iPhone.
I think it’s to make it easier to differentiate between other device chargers
I think having different chargers for all my apple products is kind of annoying. it would be nice to have usb c with my macbook, ipad, iphone, keyboard, mouse etc
Indeed
I’m looking from reliability and longevity of lighting and usb-c, lightning cable and port are way more durable than usb-c, after some time devices which I used with usb-c starting to be loose, shaking and at some point you need to pay more attention how you hold the device while charging or transferring data, because the connection is not that strong as from the beginning. Such a problem I never had with lightning cable/port. I need to mention also that I’m using better fabric covered lightning cables.
@@Di.Iv.555 and you have to be careful of the fragile thing in the port. Put something inside accidentally, break it and you’re screwed. Isn’t female port a male port on usb c since the little thing goes inside the cable? Lol I use to have cases that plugged the ports can’t do that with usbc

Actually, wireless charging is slower and takes more energy than wired charging. So after a portless iphone transition, the wireles chargers consume more power to provide better charging speeds compared to wired counterparts. This is a huge implication on total energy consumption for the same output.
Yeah but no waste from cables, in the long run it’s better. What do you do with messed up cables? My ass bets you just throw them away.

I’m from the future and your prediction is wrong. Apple will transfer to USB-C from iPhone 15 😊
Portless will cause a huge amount of backlash because even though people can wireless charge with the wireless charger on the back, a lot of people have bulky tough cases, and most people have popsockets on the back making it impossible to charge.
well it wouldn't cost million to change the case design
"most people have popsockets on the back" BS. I've never seen a phone with one fitted. Maybe it's a selfie-generation thing..
I don't see why should Apple care what case you have on your phone 😑. Apple is selling their own cases that are made for their phones, now if you go and buy popsockets it's your problem not theirs, and why the hell popsockets, man this generation is fucked up
Depending on how it's implemented you may not be able to use the phone while charging, that would really suck.
Also it will be difficult to use your phone while charging since it has to lay flat
"Why Apple dont use USB C"
Cook "Why other brands dont use lighting and pay me lots of money"
They could do something like magsafe 3 so that you could be able to use a Lightning cable and also have a qi ring around the port. Then you would be able to have a port for lightning, and a port for magsafe cable (as opposed to magsafe puck)
Looking back on this a year later, Apple is going to have to include USB-C. 1) because of the EU decision and 2) the new Car Play they announced will require so much data to be transferred between the phone and the car and vice versa in near real time that the only connector that can use such speeds is the USB-C

Follow the money. After telling us they eliminated the charging brick because of environmental concerns, I don’t believe anything they say. They will do whatever makes them more money, like a $35 brick and $30 MagSafe adapter vs a $20 lightning cable and brick. Or, maybe they will design a new dongle adapter for power.
When you break it down It doesn’t even help the environment. It actually does more harm! Also when including cables that are UCB C to lightning or MagSafe when existing adapters use USB A. Ridiculous
@@martellolukas I know. I can’t believe they tried to sell story that to us.
You don’t need to buy an Apple’s brick.

Hi, please do a content on what would be the reaction of steve on present apple company.
The real reason:
"We at apple, like money, we don't give a shit about our users and we just scam them for our shit lighting cable"
Not really lightning isn't shit and they make millions of there licensing fees
@@connerwine8257 Lightning is garbage and they make millions because companies that make phone accessories are forced to choose between Apple and Android. Typically they choose Apple because of how Apple is more simple and how more Americans have them but then are forced to pay the fee. If Apple starts using USB type C that little monopoly is ruined.
@@stevensanchez1192 lol its not garbage its not shit its not like anker has good chargers
@@connerwine8257 it is garbage and the durability sux
@@stevensanchez1192 actually they can still make a usb c cable BUT they can make it so it charges fast if it's with apple genuine cable, if it's a 3rd party then it will charge painfully slow and use the same materials they use to break easy so they can rip you off on and on and the circle continues
*names every unique possible connection for all different apple devices*
*"this is most sensible approach"*
Why they cant make the iphone’s charging port like what they use in the macbook magsafe if the cable is still necessary and they can save little space to use in battery etc.
I'm honestly really uncomfortable with the idea of phones not including ports like these in the future. For instance, if I'd like to connect my phone to a computer for data transfer, and it isn't able to transfer things wirelessly...then I'm shit out of luck.
it can through icloud, other data storage means in the cloud or airdrop between native apple devices.
Yup will need to pay for iCloud
The computer should have bluetooth at the very least
@@stuck_in_a_bubble yup like airdrop
airdrop is a thing
In conclusion: It’s because it’s so widely spread amongst iPhones and shares compatibility with AirPods and Mac accessories and changing it will cause outrage like it did and ofc it makes them money for keeping a proprietary connector
Sure it would cast outrage from some ignorant people for a few weeks but all of a sudden they’d realize that they can now use the same chargers as everyone else around them.
Well they removed chargers on the new 2020 iPhones to help earth but won’t change the charging port to USB-C from lightning because it makes them millions of dollars. By removing chargers means more profits while charging you the same price of 1000+ USD for an iphone. Key word in all of this is PROFITS PROFITS AND MORE PROFITS. Lol
Unless, they make a lightning to usb-c adapter or keep supporting lightning until it fades, it won’t work well
Just the money part I believe. If they didn't want to deal with backlash, they wouldn't have ever used proprietary ports to begin with. They would've adopted universal standards so the iPhone accessories won't have to use a different port. It would also be a blessing for Android users since they can get some high quality accessories and know that they will work. There you go, no backlash.
@@alexisaguirrevazquez7900 At the end of the day it’s always because of money tbh
this aged welll.... just watched iphone 15 and they switched to usb-c. but still good and helpful video
Apple isn't ditching Lightning out concern for the environment.
In Oct 2022, the EU ruled that... "By the end of 2024, all mobile phones, tablets and cameras sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port. From spring 2026, the obligation will extend to laptops."
I love how applefans always try to explain away things. iPhones still use lightning because the lightning cable makes them a crap load of money, not because they have to use it
Simpleton…
They'd loose so much money from selling the wires once one has broken!
*Lose

thats true they would
This aged well
Iphone 15 just got released with its type C charger port 💀
the problem is i need those lightning connectors to connect my phone hard wired to my apple play car stereo, because hard wire is always a lot more clearer for sound reproduction than bluetooth
5:25 I would love if the wireless magnetic charger actually was grab’n go, but you still have to use two hands to pick up your phone when charging.
thats why i use belkin boost charge, the magsafe is crab (wife is using iphone 12, me 11) i dont want a pocket or something behind my phone ^^
it’s not supposed to be grab and go. it’s alternative for actual wiredcharging . not wireless
Apple Wireless Mouse has the charging port on the bottom
And now they are forced to use USB-C with iPhone 15
*2 years later*
We now use USB-C! 🎉
Because Lightning is a proprietary spec so Apple gets a cut of every Lightning accessory sold
THIS is the real answer
0:45 That picture of Tim Cook always give me the creeps 😖😖😖😖 I don’t know why...
I knew what picture it was before clicking on it
The picture of a greedy bussinessman. Yeah, that's creepy
It kinda remind me of the Ellen off the talk show 😂
I don't understand how lightning cable is still a thing when everyone uses USBc and is better overall
You give iPad as the example for portless charging solution but as fast as I know transmitting data without a port is still a challenge, right? And we need a fast data transmitting opportunity on iPhone for connecting external devices and also for developing/testing apps.
Because money, there, I saved you 5:53 minutes...
And a few other reasons, but ofc you won't mention that cause you hate Apple and would never acknowledge that they had other reasons than money
Think before you type.
I am saying that because I think you didn't see the video.
@@BobRossRightHand he says apple won't change to USB C because of fear of backlash, but he contradicted himself when he mentioned apple removing the headphone jack and charger brick. Guess what though. They didn't care about the backlash they got, but they did it anyway, the real reason they won't switch to lighting is Because Lightning is a proprietary spec so Apple gets a cut of every Lightning accessory sold and because of that apple makes billions of dollars every year from lighting accessories.

And nope, we dont hate Apple, we just dont like it.
5 minutes is pretty long to say: Accessory revenue. Screw apple for still using lightning
Tbh i don't remember a backlash when lightning was introduced. I remember it was praised for being much more advanced than both 30-pin connector and micro-USB in every way.
Thanks for the music source
i not a apple user but i guess circulating the market first with an type C to lighting and lighting to type C converter with make it easy for them to transition to type C on iphones and accessories.
Condition being the converter should be sold really cheap unlike other apple products so that it doesn't seem that big a deal and even be provided as an in the box item for the newly transitioned products.
How do I transfer data if no wireless option to a pc or storage disk without cable port aka charge port
one problem for portless phone
how would you connect it to your pc or mac
you still need itunes
0:34 Oh that was a hilarious joke, I didn't know you were a comedian! 😂
_one of the first to adopt new standards_ 🤣 oh that was good...
Lol right their almost never first to do anything, when they do it they usually do it good but still.
"Convenient wireless charging"
You mean the super inefficient and power wasting one?
So why did everyone criticize Apple when they were still making iPhones without wireless charging?
@@aninditabasak7694 Because options, if they don't add it, it's less options, but if they remove the port, then we're back to square one. Just 1 option, but a worse one
How would they get backlash from changing the charging port? That makes no sense to me
The last time I checked all speaker required holes, so eliminating openings for water proofing/resistance is not going to work.
"Has a reputation of being the first to adapt new standards" Say what? They are literally the last every single time to do that...
Really Apple was the first to adopt USB with the iMac G3 in 1998. And the 12 inch MacBook was one of the first to adopt USB C. And the iPhone 14 will probably be the first smartphone to be portless.
Make a poll to bring back the old music background
But what about apple car play on automobiles? You have to connect it for the interface to work
When you said, "8 years ago on iPhone 5" that just hit me hard
Even though this will cause Apple 2 times more money, I think they should release two models of the next iPhone. One with the lightning and one with USB-C. Like that the people who want the lighting can buy the lighting one and the people who want USB-C can buy that model.
I can guarantee you most of their consumers don’t care what charges the phone because they’re gonna buy the apple version regardless. Putting in that much effort for such a small market of their users would be stupid
@@AnonYmous-tr4cu yeah thats true
USB-C has a male & female connection on both sides of the port, this makes it alot more prone to debris than a solid male to female connection like lightning. Apple chooses to keep lightning because it is more durable. Example: take a cup of dirt or sand, jam a USB-C cable into it and try to plug it into a port.. it won't, it will be clogged because it has that female end on both sides. You can do that same thing with a lightning cable, shake it off real quick and easily still plug it into the phone, this is once again because it is a solid male connection, there's no "hole" on the inside of the lightning port like there is USB-C. This is a test that has actually been done internally, Now alot of people simply think about ohhhhh what charges faster?! The fact is the majority of people don't need a 65w megacharge or whatever, most people just charge their phones at night. So in order for the phone to last for several years, it is a better long-term view for Apple to use a solid male connection (such as lightning) over a male+female combo connection like USB-C. Samsung plans on you replacing your phone every year, that's why they barely get 1-2 years of updates, whereas Apple is STILL updating the iPhone 6s from 2015.. Apple looks more at long term durability than any other manufacturer does.
EDIT: Someone may ask "but why then use USB-C for the non-pocketable devices like iPad?" Good question, that was done since non-pocketable devices such as the iPad are alot less prone to debris/lint than a phone that is always in a pocket that may become dirty. That's why the iPhone specifically needs that solid male to female connection, and seems to work fine for iPads as they generally never leave the home. Unfortunately if Apple buckles to the pressure and puts USB-C on iPhone, you would see a drop in the overall durability of the iPhone over years.
@@brewergamer Bruh, apple fanboy, we get it. Stop copy-pasting this comment and go have fun with your IPhone, we don't care. And I'm just gonna leave this here: Data transfer speed.
I would’ve gone with the 30-pin connector at least another year and would have adopted to USB-C afterwards
This wasn’t possible. The 30-pin connector was too big for the iPhone 5 and USB-C wasn’t even there yet. It was until the iPhone 6S in 2015 that people were still asking for Micro-USB, and now they’re all asking for USB-C. Neither of which will happen.
@@anianii Considering they replaced all ports with USB-C on their MacBooks. This reasoning doesn't seem to hold much. They basically trapped themselves now, but also likely don't care much since they still get licensing fees from Lighting from 3rd party vendors. And iPhone users on large part pretty much accepted this inconvenience and just keep their Lightning cable with them in case of need to charge something.
why couldn't have they used micro usb till 2014?? why stubbornly stick with their stupid proprietory connector
@@Aditya-tt1ws Actually if they temporary use MicroUSB before going to Type-C, that's not a good way either and will gain worst backlash since accessories manufacturers will make these things for few years and ditching again. Also MicroUSB isn't even great to begin with, they would rather use older 30-pin connector than MicroUSB even its big.
@@kornkernel2232 Okay. But this lighting has been very old now, hence my apprehension. Android phones have always used micro USB till USB C...so I thought why Apple couldn't do it
The fully waterproof is even more possible because of the digital SIM cards
