Not long ago, a talented student at the school perfectly transformed an iPhone X into a USB-C interface, which not only attracted attention, the prototype was even auctioned off at a price of about 550,000, which is enough to show that the outside world switched to USB-C for the iPhone. The degree of expectation of the C interface. According to reports obtained by iDropNews, multiple sources revealed that Apple is considering replacing the USB-C interface for the iPhone 14 Pro.
The reasons include the following three points:
1. Increase the transmission rate
The Lightning interface has been enabled since 2012, and has so far stayed at the speed of USB 2.0. For professionals, recording 1 minute of 4K ProRes video requires 6GB of local space. Importing it into the computer via the lightning port is a painful process.
For example, 2 hours of 4K ProRes video is about 720GB, and it takes 3 hours and 45 minutes to use the lightning port, while if it is USB4, it only takes 2 minutes and 38 seconds. Apple hopes that the iPhone 14 Pro can be more professional, so USB-C is almost a must.
2. Avoid legal risks
Both the United States and the European Union are promoting the unification of the charging interface, and the iPad Pro has already switched to USB-C. Sooner or later, the iPhone transition is only from which generation.
3. Environmental protection
Apple does not provide charging heads, headphones, including the iPhone 13 series, and removes the plastic film. They are all showing good environmental protection. Abandoning the Lightning interface and unifying it with Android will further reduce the damage to the environment caused by additional production cables and other accessories.
