We are weeks away from WWDC 2020, the developer conference that will bring us (predictably) the Keynote in which we see the news at the Apple software level. Yes, in less than a month we should see what the next one looks like iOS 14. But we already know that many of you are more than the presentations of devices, and the rumor machine does not stop although there are still a few months for these to become official. The last: we will see an iPhone 12 with Lightning ports, and the iPhone of 2021 will be an iPhone without ports ... After the jump we give you all the details of these new rumors.
The truth is that it makes sense. I see it unlikely that Apple will move from Lightning to USB-C in a fast way, and this strategy may cause iPhones to bypass USB-C technology. to go to a total wireless since Apple is what it is betting the most on. Do you remember the wireless charging base that Apple had to cancel? Well, the strategy would end up launching this base at some point to end up giving way to completely wireless devices in 2021. The extra accessories could also be connected to our devices through the Smart Connector that we see in the iPad Pro for example.
We will see what they finally launch, we do think it is difficult to eliminate the Lightning port. Although virtually all new electronic devices now use USB-C, including those from Apple, the iPhone uses too many devices and the removal of the Lightning can pose a problem for accessory manufacturers. The wireless issue also makes sense, it can bring us totally watertight devices, and as the issue of wireless charging is developed in the end I think yes we will see completely wireless devices. And you, What do you think about Apple continuing to use the Lightning port? Do you see a wireless future?
