Samuel Niberg, a reporter for MacWorld, a news media specializing in Apple in the UK, said, “With the introduction of the MagSafe wireless charging pad, the iPhone will no longer have a USB Type-C (USB-C) terminal. In the first place, Apple is the iPhone. If I had planned to have a USB-C terminal on my iPhone, I would have already done so. “
I had been expecting it since the iPad Pro (2018 model) appeared.
Mr. Niberg said, “Since the iPad Pro (2018 model) appeared, I was paying attention to whether an iPhone equipped with a USB-C terminal will appear, but the external connection terminal remains the Lightning terminal, and MagSafe in the iPhone 12 series A wireless charging pad has also arrived. If Apple wanted to add a USB-C port to the iPhone, it would have already done so, and it will never happen in the future. “
Even if he fails to develop AirPower, which is too ambitious, Apple clearly considers wireless charging to be the best solution.
It is expected that the Lightning cable will not be included
He points out that the MagSafe wireless charging pad uses a magnet to be attracted to and placed in the correct charging position with the iPhone 12 series, allowing you to hold it in your hand and talk while wirelessly charging. I will.
He also said that 15W wireless charging is about the same charging speed as fast charging with a Lightning cable connected.
Apple expects that the EarPods, power adapter, and Lightning cable will no longer be included, Niberg predicts.
