The broad differences between the USB-C and the Lightning connector are clearly negligible. However, Apple is reluctant to abandon a cable that it popularized in 2012 and that it continues to maintain in its latest devices. However, where it could have included it, and has not, has been in the MacBook editions that it has been released. The people have spoken, users are opting for USB-C as the standardized cable for iOS devices, both the iPad and the iPhone. However, knowing Apple it is difficult for us to see this in the near future.
The popular Apple-themed portal 9To5Mac has conducted a survey among its millions of readers and they have come to several quite interesting conclusions. And it is that its readers think that Apple should switch from Lightning to USB-C in its next generation of iPad. But it doesn't stop there 39% of users specify that Apple should only include USB-C on the iPadBut the remaining 35% think it should go a step further and bring this versatile connector to its flagship iPhone as well.
Meanwhile, a quarter of readers are still hell-bent on using Lightning. We are not going to deny that this cable that has accompanied us so much is good, but just think for a moment about the many things we could do with our iPhone with a USB-C cable, plug it into universal chargers, to any adapted television ...
Ultimately, this all comes after rumors that Apple will launch a new 10,5-inch iPad in the middle of this year, a new iPad that would end up eliminating some of those already present in the range, we imagine that the iPad Mini will be the great victim of this new presence in the Cupertino company's catalog.
