“USB-C in hardware designs could boost iPhone’s transfer and charging speed,” he tweeted, “but the final standard details still depend on iOS support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s believed that Apple’s ecosystem’s existing USB-C-related providers (e.g., IC controller, connection) will become the market’s leading suppliers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU has been considering new laws requiring IT firms to use the same port standard, claiming that this will reduce the number of wires jammed into drawers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s much smaller than its predecessor, with only eight pins instead of thirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
