Nowadays, Android phone manufacturers have basically adopted the USB C data interface, which can reduce the number of data cables users carry when going out. In fact, there have been rumors online that the iPhone 12 will adopt a USB C interface, but after its release, it still disappointed everyone. Not only does it lack a USB C interface, but it also lacks a charging head.

Will Apple release an iPhone with a USB C interface? According to domestic and foreign reviewers' predictions, Apple may really need to skip this step. The unification of data interfaces is a mutually agreed upon agreement among EU countries, but Apple still goes its own way and refuses to pay attention, even if it is punished by the EU and does not choose to use the USB C interface, which fully demonstrates Apple's determination.

Comparison between USB C and Lightning USB C is currently the most commonly used data charging interface in the Android camp. Compared with Apple's Lightning interface, USB C can significantly improve charging power, while the charging port of the Lightning interface is severely limited. Users of Apple phones know that the fourth pin of the Lightning port is prone to turning black, which makes it impossible to charge iPhone, The reason is the oxidation reaction generated by the positive electrode of the power supply, while USB C does not have such a problem.

Another advantage of USB C is its stronger waterproof performance, and Apple has always pursued the waterproof performance of the iPhone. In many people's eyes, Apple should prefer the USB C interface, but why has it always insisted on using the Lightning interface?

Famous Apple analyst Guo Minghui once stated that Apple does not intend to use a USB charging interface on the iPhone. Apple plans to skip the transition from USB to C and choose a more waterproof, portless design. In fact, Apple has long been exploring the portless iPhone, and its released MagSafe is one of the best experimental products. However, MagSafe is still in its immature stage, and the transition from Lightning to portless will take some time.

The reason why Apple does not use the USB C interface is also due to Cook's caution. Everyone is familiar with Apple's MFI plan. Apple's design is mainly to ensure its monopoly position. Charging devices certified by Apple's MFI can ensure the charging safety of mobile phones, while also increasing its profits. An officially authorized MFI certified data cable is several times that of a regular data cable, For Apple, it would rather pay a fine than give up.

After Apple launched the MagSafe charging device, it has gradually taken another step towards a non charging design port. In the future, Lightning and USB C will definitely be gradually replaced by wireless charging, which will be the trend of future development. After Apple directly skipped the USB C upgrade and upgraded to MagSafe, Apple's MFI plan was once again extended, and the fundamental reason for their unwillingness to adopt a universal USB C interface was still to make money.
