This Tuesday, Apple‘s “Wonderlust” event is expected to reveal the company’s next big steps, including a committed transition to USB-C for its accessories. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg dropped this and other tidbits on the latest MacRumors Show podcast. For years, Apple has been churning out various accessories with different types of charging ports. Remember the bulky 30-pin charger? Well, Gurman says the era of inconsistency is about to end. Apple is planning to make a seamless move to USB-C, much like the 2012 transition to the Lightning port. This could mean everything from AirPods to MagSafe battery packs would see a USB-C makeover.

Multiple MagSafe packs can supply a lot more screen time than usual

Speaking of MagSafe, Gurman let slip that a new version of the MagSafe Duo with USB-C support is on the way. The real head-turner here? A stackable MagSafe battery pack that allows for charging multiple devices at once. Imagine a stack of batteries, each powering an iPhone—talk about convenient!

While everyone’s excited about accessories, let’s not forget the iPhone 15 series. Gurman hints that the Pro models will sport a lighter and more durable titanium build. Plus, there’s a promise of 33% reduced bezels and a 10% hike in battery life. These upgrades come courtesy of a new technique known as low-injection pressure over-molding (LIPO) and an advanced 3nm A17 Bionic chipset.

But all that glitters is not gold—this lighter titanium is more prone to dents, Gurman warns. Yet, for those tired of wiping fingerprints off their phones, the titanium surface might be a welcome change.

So, mark your calendars for April 12, 10 am PDT/1 pm EDT. Whether you’re an accessory junkie or waiting for the next iPhone, this event promises to be a game-changer. Don’t forget, you can catch the live stream on Apple’s website or their YouTube channel.
