One of the reasons why people who have used iPhones for the past few years
continue to stick with the next iPhone is the Lightning port.
It is an independent standard technology that Apple has been using for 10 years,
applying it to the iPhone 5 for the first time in 2012
and applying it to the current iPhone 14 series in 2022.
However, in actual use, the cable life is slightly longer than before.
Other than that, the data transfer speed and charging speed are the same as 10 years ago.
Compared to the USB-C charging terminal,
which has become mainstream now, it is declining to be an old-generation technology over the years.
Even when Apple first applied the Lightning cable, this new method was an innovation among innovations.
It was thin and light, but its charging
speed and data transmission speed were unrivaled,
and above all, it was innovative because it could be charged in any direction
regardless of the front or back of the port at the time.
On the other hand, USB technology standard was not established,
and USB-C was settled while going through a transitional period
in which it was divided into standard, mini, and micro versions.
I am using C type.
Unfortunately, while USB is undergoing a transitional period in the market
and growing while confusing
many users, Lightning cables do not improve data transfer speed and charging speed,
so they focus more on receiving license fees by selling third-party certified chips. it seemed
But behind the scenes, it's not that Apple won't develop technology,
This is because wireless technology development that meets the Apple ecosystem
lock-in effect pursued by Apple has not been able to speed up.
Apple internally steered towards the eventual portless implementation via AirPower
in time for the release of the iPhone X, but AirPower was never released.
However, the future of charging that Apple actually pursues can be measured through MagSafe.
If the port's role is to charge and transmit data,
it would be significant for MacBooks and iPads,
which are highly interlocked with external devices
and require relatively large data transmission.
Aside from that, there are probably more people who don't feel much discomfort
with the Lightning cable they're using now.
This is because photos and videos are automatically uploaded through iCloud,
and you can edit them directly on your iPad or MacBook when necessary,
and when sharing photos and videos with others, you can use iMessage and AirDrop.
However, the implementation of the iPhone completely wireless,
which Apple has been preparing, has a deadline for applying EU regulations on December 28,
2024, so the iPhone's USB-C will be installed first.
The important point here is that the regulatory start time is December 2024,
so it's okay to be released from the iPhone 16 series.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal at the end of October,
Apple's chief marketing officer and chief technology officer,
Craig and Federeggi, appeared, respecting
the EU's decision regarding the application of
USB-C and Lightning ports, and charging future iPhones using USB-C cables.
but did not say the exact timing of application.
However, the market expects that it will be partially applied to the iPhone 15 series.
The iPhone 15 Pro Pro Max model
is equipped with a port that can support high-speed communication of USB
3.2 or Thunderbolt 3, and the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus
are equipped with USB 2.0 applied to the iPad 10 series. We hope this will be supported.
Now the iPhone has opened the USB-C era,
Another important point to watch is to see how Apple paradoxically solves
the expected increase in environmental pollution
due to EU regulations that Apple claimed.
Well, finally, a word from NordVPN,
who helped make this video.
Security is a part of our daily life
that we must pay attention to as convenience increases.
I always use NordVPN
to increase my security while using my smartphone and computer.
NordVPN provides more than 5,000 secure servers in 60 countries to prevent various threats
that are becoming more intelligent and diversified,
as well as new virus and various threat prevention functions.
And recently, a meshnet function has been added
that allows you to directly connect to friends or
co-workers through an encrypted private line without going through a VPN server,
enabling malicious software, tracking prevention, ad
blocking, and direct connection once set in the app.

under the best conditions.
Thanks for watching the video.
It was route nine in Boston.
