Despite the USB Type C format being almost universally adopted for its various benefits, Apple has still stuck to its proprietary Lightning port design for sometime now. However, a new report has suggested that soon certain products will be shifting away from the company’s dated standards.
The news arrives from known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who shared the information on Twitter. Recently, we have reported on the Cupertino based giant planning on shifting its popular iPhone series of smartphones to support USB Type C port. This would mark a major shift away from its Lightning Port. In the latest tweet, the analyst shared updates to his previous tweet, adding that additional Apple products would also make the switch to support USB Type C.
The other products includes the likes of new AirPods, Magic Keyboard, trackpad, and mouse, along with a new MagSafe chargers as well. Unfortunately, we still don’t know when exactly the move will occur and Kuo also stated that the shift is “in the foreseeable future.” For those unaware, the analyst had previously predicted that iPhones won’t be dropping the Lightning port until 2023.
So, it won’t be surprising if the brand has every other product make the shift as well. Although, we can likely expect the company to make this shift slowly. Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at this point, so take this report with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.
