Earlier, there was news on the Internet that the iPhone 12 series may replace the Lightning interface with the more popular Type-C interface, but this news has not received an official response from Apple. On May 11, Weibo blogger @ibing universe posted that the entire iPhone 12 series still uses the Lightning port, which is Apple’s exclusive Lightning port.

In fact, there have been rumors that Apple will ditch the Lightning port since the early years, but none of the new products released by Apple have changed this design. It is reported that Apple insists on using the Lightning interface in consideration of the brand’s ecosystem, because most of the Apple devices currently on sale use this interface, which makes data transmission and charging between devices more convenient. Moreover, if Apple wants to replace the entire ecological product with the Type-C interface, it will also need to redesign their device interface, which will cost a lot of research funds and a lot of manpower.

According to data, most iPhone users do not feel that the Lightning interface is poor, but sometimes feel that charging is not very convenient, especially when they forget to bring a charging cable when they go out, and they cannot find a suitable charging cable elsewhere, which will affect their use. In addition, some people have raised questions. The Lightning interface also supports front and back use, and the transmission speed is also good, not much worse than Type-C. Why did Apple change the design? What do you think of this?
