The new European directives leave no choice, Apple will therefore switch to USB-C at the end of 2024. But according to a new report from Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman, the Apple brand would not wish to do so. evolve its iPhones in this direction.
For him, only Mac accessories and AirPods will have the right to the USB-C port by the end of 2024. According to Gurman, the iPhone and iPad should make a “switch” to USB-C without this connection port lasting over time. Next year, the launch of the iPhone 15 should be the first step in this shift, with the arrival of this “universal” connection port on Apple's new phone.
USB-C coming to the iPad before the end of the month?
Apple should also, according to Gurman, offer an “entry-level” iPad with a USB-C port at the end of October. The arrival of this product would complete the transition regarding the Cupertino company's tablets. But according to Gurman, this change will only be short-lived.
If AirPods and accessories will have the right to USB-C, this should not be the case for the iPhones of tomorrow. Apart from the iPhone 15 which is forced to do so for legal reasons, Apple should switch to 100% wireless in the years to come. In his latest report, the journalist mentions an aborted project: AirPower.
A new AirPower under study at Apple?
According to him, Apple has never really given up on this matter and a new “multifunction wireless charger” project is being studied in the greatest secrecy. The Cupertino company should largely rely on the work done with MagSafe on the iPhone 12, 13 and 14.
Gurman thus assures that “before the end of the decade” iPhones should lose their last connection port. After the jack socket, which disappeared with the iPhone 7 in 2017, Apple is tackling the last port connecting the iPhone to the outside world. With the disappearance of this notch at the bottom of the device, Apple is getting closer to Steve Jobs' dream of an iPhone without a single port or button.
