yes we finally got confirmation after so many years with lightning the iphone is
finally getting usb type c now i know this sounds absolutely crazy to a lot of
you out there but usb type c is the most important thing for the iphone and
before i explain why first i've got to go through these bombshell leaks from
one of the most reliable sources and analysts out there ming chick
as you can see he just released a new statement saying that the iphone 15
lineup is going to switch from lightning to usbc next year and as you can see in
this recent tweet from this morning framing chico he says that the new
iphones in the second half of 2023 will abandon lightning and switch to usb type
c and the reason for it is to improve iphone's transfer and charging speed in
terms of the hardware designs and the reason why this tweet by mixture code is
so important is because ming chu ko was actually the one person who previously
said that the iphone would not get usb type c back in march march 2nd he said
that the iphone would be sticking with the lightning port over usbc for the
foreseeable future yes he said that usbc is detrimental to the mfi business's
profitability and its waterproof spec is lower than lightning and max saved but
the crazier thing that he said was that if the iphone abandons lightning in the
future it may directly adopt the portless design with max safe support
instead of a type c usb port and now just two months later he is completely
flipping the script and saying that next year's iphones are getting usb c now if
you remember i did a video back in january about the iphone 14 pro getting
a usbc port as you can see i got these renders created by renders by shalash
showing off that usb type-c port and i even made a video telling you guys to
brace yourself because usb-c is coming but unfortunately i think i was wrong
about usb type-c coming on the iphone 14 pro and it's actually coming next year
but within this video there was a very very interesting point that i made
listen to this our new connector is called lightning so now we have
thunderbolt and lightning in our connector strategy
this connector is a modern connector for the next decade phil schiller said that
this lightning connector is a modern connector for the next decade yes that's
for the next 10 years and this event actually happened in 2012
so the whole basis of my video was what if in 2022 we finally switched to usbc
well it looks like this is going to be the last year with lightning and next
year we are getting usb type c and that's exactly what mac rumors talked
about in this article saying that the lightning port is near its expiration
date so what's next for the iphone well of course usb type c now on top of that
the crazier thing is that mark german who was the most reliable apple analyst
and leaker has been talking about a usbc iphone for a while way back in 2019 he
said that apple is testing some versions of the iphone including a usb c
connector that was back in 2019 so it's been a while and he said that moving to
usbc would make the new models compatible with chargers used for
hundreds of other devices like android phones which would be a major benefit
and last year in august he talked about apple's confusing charger lineup saying
that we have lightning for some of the ipads and the iphones we have usb-c for
the macbooks and some of the higher-end ipads we of course have mac safe for
three different devices and now he's saying that
lightning has served apple well since 2012 but usbc has clearly won out across
the industry has become the default connector for new devices and yes i
believe that both the pro models and the regular 15s are gonna be getting usb
type c and that has to do with a brand new redesign because apple is on a cycle
where every three years they totally redesign the chassis and i believe
if they're going to be going through all the trouble of making this redesign as
you can see having like a flat glass back with protruding glass on the back
and the front like this which is totally unique then apple might as well redesign
the port i thought that the iphone 14 lineup would be getting this redesign as
you can see we talked about these different leaks that ross young
confirmed with the dual hole punch camera as you can see right here and of
course renders by shylesh helped me with those rumors and man this iphone design
looks sick you got the glass on both the front and the back circular power
buttons and this actually originated from john prosser's exclusive leak of
the iphone 14 which happened way back in september he said that the iphone 14 is
getting a full redesign with these crazy new design updated speaker grilles
completely flat glass back which obviously this looks absolutely
beautiful but the interesting thing is within those renders he kept the
lightning port around and even a couple months back he said twitter bookmarked
this tweet if the iphone ever gets usbc i will shave off my eyebrows and then of
course we got a major shift in the leaks with a lot of leaks of the iphone 14
lineup coming out showing off a similar design to the iphone 13 that we already
have as you can see the same design as we have with the iphone 13 lineup but
with larger camera bumps so after that happened john prosser came out with a
new video saying this is the real iphone 14 finally admitting that it's more
likely that the iphone 14 lineup is gonna stick to the same ish design as we
already have with the iphone 13 and within that video he admitted that he
thinks he received his renders and leaks one year early so he admitted that it's
more likely for that full redesign with the flush glass back protruding glass on
the front and back to be coming next year with the iphone 15 lineup so what
all of this means is that this is likely the design of the iphone 15 pro and as
you can see usbc is probably coming next year this is super
super exciting so with that said a lot of you guys are probably saying hey
let's skip the iphone 14 why would we buy it because the iphone 15 is getting
usbc that's a major major improvement well let me get into the different
features we should expect and why it might actually be worth it for a lot of
people to upgrade this year first of all we have the new lineup with the iphone
14 regular max model now in terms of the
displays we actually got a display panel leak as you can see right here and dang
the bezels are reduced on these pro models we have the dual punch with the
pill and the cutout and we have an even thinner and wider speaker grille which
is going to be barely visible but i think the really big feature about this
year's iphone at least the 14 pro model is going to be the cameras this is
literally going to be a camera revolution with us finally getting a 48
megapixel main sensor capable of shooting 8k
60fps video but this creates a problem because shrimp apple pro has confirmed
that this year's 14 lineup is sticking to the lightning port which is an issue
because if we actually have 8k pro res video with the new 14 pro with the 48
megapixel camera that is going to be a ton of storage space being used and how
are you supposed to transfer all of that using lightning well in my personal
opinion i think that the 14 pro models this year are gonna feature an upgraded
usb 3.0 lightning connector to significantly improve the transfer
speeds and to be completely honest i think this year's iphones are going to
look absolutely beautiful as you can see in these renders that shylash created
for us they look absolutely amazing especially with this display redesign
with the thinner bezels i mean this is going to look awesome and then of course
the last thing i want to add to this video is next year when the iphone
switches over to usbc we're going to get a huge wave in the future of new apple
products and accessories getting the usbc port as you can see this is an
airpods mod ditching lightning for usbc i think this is gonna be a huge deal to
finally start getting air pods earpods max different accessories fully
switching to usb type c that's gonna be awesome so there you guys go those were
all of my thoughts on minxo's leak of next year's iphones getting usbc let me
