Earlier this year, the European Parliament voted to end cablesLightning, deemed harmful to the environment and consumers. Logically, given that it is USB-C technology which is present in the competition, but also on Mac computers and iPad Pros of which the fourth generation is out, we could therefore expect to see this solution also land on iPhones.
Their next generation is expected for the month of September, during a supposed keynote where four different models would be revealed, with screens5.4 to 6.7 inchesaccording to the most numerous rumors. This should indeed always be equipped with proprietary connectivity, but this would not be the case for the following models.
100% wireless?
