Apple begins testing iPhones with USB-C

[SBFNews]

Cupertino-based tech giant has already started testing iPhones with the USB-C port. Although this year's iPhones will retain the Lightning connector.

Additionally, the publication claims that Apple is also working on an adapter that would let future iPhones sporting USB-C work with the accessories designed for the current Lightning connector

Apple is concerned that the European law "mandating just one type of connector for all devices on the market will harm European consumers by slowing down the introduction of beneficial innovations in charging standards, including those related to safety and energy efficiency."

The EU has denied the allegations of this move to USB-C hampering innovation, saying the "proposal states that if a new standard emerges that is better than USB-C, we can adapt the rules."

Soon Apple will make the iPhones totally portless.

And whether you like it or not, Apple is the trendsetter, and the Android world will follow suit, for better or worse: battery sealed inside chassis, headphone jack removal, notch for front camera, no charger in the box etc.
