Apple is moving towards USB-C

Tech giant Apple seems to be phasing out the dedicated Lightning port. This decision was made after removing the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 and offering a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter as a temporary solution. But now it seems that even this adapter will no longer be available.

According to Tekna technology news service, in recent years, Apple has increasingly moved towards using the USB-C port in its products. This change is due to advantages such as higher data transfer speed and its standard in many devices. By removing Lightning and using USB-C in all products, users can use one cable to charge and transfer data in different Apple devices.

One of the main reasons for this change is the new European Union rules, which mandate the use of a single port (USB-C) for all electronic devices. Users of older iPhones that use Lightning may have to replace their cables and adapters to use newer devices. By removing the Lightning adapter to 3.5 mm, the options for users to use wired headphones will be more limited. Despite these challenges, users will benefit from the long-term benefits of using the USB-C port, including faster charging speeds and greater compatibility with other devices.

Although Apple has not yet officially announced that it will completely abandon Lightning, the evidence suggests that the port will be completely removed from Apple products in the near future. This change could have significant impacts on the tech industry and Apple users.
