iPhone 14 may boast a Type-C port

Hyderabad California-based tech giant Apple is allegedly planning to get rid of its traditional lightning port and would boast a regular USB type-C port in the upcoming iPhone 14 series.

The not-so-budget friendly smartphone brand had launched its iPhone 13 series back in September and speculations for the next smartphone have been doing rounds in the internet for a while. And the latest rumour suggesting the entry of USB type-C port in iPhone 14 series has bought smiles on buyers.

If the rumours are true, all the Apple made gadgets, the iPhones and iPads would get USB-C eventually. To be updated, the latest iPad Pro, the iPad Air 4, and the most recent iPad Mini 6 come with a Type-C port. The switch to regular C-port is long-awaited and can help increase the file transfer speeds, especially in the case of ProRes videos. This video format just got introduced with the latest iPhone 13 series and takes up a lot of space. Hence, transferring them to a PC makes more sense and USB Type-C will help fasten the process. The reports suggest that while the current Lightning port (USB 2.0) takes over 3 hours to transfer a 720GB ProRES file, USB Type-C (USB 4.0) is expected to take just over 2 minutes. This is certainly a time-saver for professionals and this inclusion will prove to very crucial.

Above all, this step would also make Apple to move closer towards more climate conscious practices. while avoiding any legal conflicts with the Biden-Harris Administration and the European Union who want to make USB Type-C ports a standard for all smartphones.
