Apple will use the usb type

Apple is a strong proponent of proprietary standards and the leading creator of technology trends that are never mass-adopted until Apple does. After many years using proprietary connectors to charge iPhone batteries, Apple has decided to adopt the USB Type-C port.

Apple finally decides to mount a USB Type-C port on its 2019 iPhone, something that will help standardize this type of connection.

DigiTimes reports that like most of this year's flagship smartohone 2018 and next year 2019, the 2019 iPhone will include a USB Type-C port, finally finally ending the mixed ecosystem of Lightning and USB charging solutions- C from the Cupertino company. The adoption of USB Type-C in the new iPhones will accelerate the adoption of this interface in the rest of the products that hit the market. According to DigiTimes, this decision was taken into account for the 2018 iPhone, but its development was already too advanced to implement this type of connection.

It is a very robust and versatile connector, especially when it is compatible with Thunderbolt 3, but the connector is also plagued with different levels of quality and support in the market, which makes the final results somewhat unpredictable. Apple's entry into this market can solve and standardize solutions.

USB Type-C has been on the market for quite some time, but until now its adoption has been practically limited only to high-end phones and some accessories such as very high-performance external SSDs. Surely Apple's bet means that soon we will see many more devices with this great port.
