Apple just confirmed the iPhone will get a USB-C port instead of Lightning but did not say whether the switch starts with iPhone 15.
But the marketing chief did defend Apple’s decision to stick with Lightning. The connector is a good charger, with more than a billion people using it. These iPhone users already have the infrastructure in place for iPhones, he said.Moreover, he brought up Apple’s opposition to governments dictating such stringent terms. Apple argued before that such laws could stifle innovation.
Similarly, the marketing chief gave an example of hearing aid laws related to smartphones and how Apple went about deploying its own solution rather than adopting a standard. Marketing defenses aside, Joswiak kept clear about committing to any timelines. He never mentioned the next-gen iPhone as the model to get the USB-C port, even though it seems the iPhone 15 is the likeliest model to be the first USB-C iPhone in Apple’s history.
Similarly, Joswiak did not address other Apple initiatives that would allow the company to skirt USB-C rules. Like the portless iPhone that keeps appearing in rumors. That sort of device would probably recharge wirelessly over MagSafe. The wireless charger, however, might need a USB-C port. All of that is speculation at this time.
