According to reports, today marks the 10th anniversary of Apple's first iPhone 5 equipped with a Lightning interface, which replaces the previous 30-pin interface from the iPod. Phil Schiller, former marketing director at Apple, described the Lightning interface as the "modern interface of the next decade," and this milestone has now been achieved. The latest iPhone 14/Pro series models are still equipped with a Lightning interface, but the industry generally expects Apple to switch to a USB C interface on the iPhone 15 series models next year. It is reported that the upcoming 10th generation entry-level iPad will also use a USB C interface motherboard, and next year's AirPods charging box and MagSafe battery pack are no exception. Previously, the EU proposed legislation requiring all smartphones and accessories to be charged using a USB C interface starting from the autumn of 2024.

The iPhone 15 series will fully adopt an exclamation point screen, rather than a bang screen design (the standard version uses the same chip A16 as the iPhone 14 Pro, while more high-end series models use the A17 chip). Of course, if the full screen advancement is faster, it is not ruled out that high-end models will use the latest screen. In short, the gap between high-end and non high-end models will widen, and it will be even more unfriendly to users without money.

The supply chain emphasizes that Apple has started developing the iPhone 15 series, and its biggest change is to cancel the Lightning interface and instead use the USB C interface.

Because the European Union has stipulated that all mobile phones must use the USB C interface in 2024, the iPhone 15 series that debuted in 2024 will be equipped with USB C. Compared to Lightning, USB C can be compatible with many existing non Apple devices and has faster data transmission and charging speeds.

USb-c generally refers to USBType-C. Because of its faster data transmission speed and more efficient power transmission, it has become a standard configuration among hundreds of millions of Consumer electronics such as smart phones, tablets and laptops and their related supporting components. In 2021, the global shipment of equipment equipped with USb-c interfaces will be close to 5 billion units. With the introduction of Apple's iPhone and other products, the popularity of USB C interface applications is expected to accelerate. According to Credence Research data, the global type-c interface market will continue to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25.7% from 2019 to 2027.

Guangjiayuan Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. has been widely recognized by customers for the integrity, process maturity and product stability of a variety of type-c interface product series, and the products have achieved Bulk sale.
