A new report claims the 2023 iPhone will come with a USB-C port.

Bloomberg reports that Apple is testing an iPhone design with USB-C, and the switch away from Lightning port is expected only in 2023. In addition, Apple is also working on a Lightning to USB-C adapter.

There are two possible reasons why Apple is considering the switch. First, Members of the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in support of a draft legislation that will force consumer electronics makers to adopt the USB-C standard. If the legislation is approved, Apple has to conform to the EU regulations.

Second, USB-C already supports faster data transfer speeds than the Lightning port. It only makes sense for Apple to bring USB-C to the iPhone to be in line with most of the iPad and MacBook devices. This will also help streamline the number and type of chargers used by Apple’s products.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported a few days ago that Apple may adopt USB-C for the 2023 iPhone. Kuo says USB-C will bring faster data transfer and charging speeds to the iPhone.
