It’s expected to be on the Pro lineup first, with the rest of the iPhones later. There will not be any lightning port or USB-C – purely wireless. Most recently, developments are showing that the iPhone 14 will be port-less. While that didn’t go through, many are still expecting the change to be implemented in the iPhone 14 this year. There have been various reports for years of iPhones switching to either USB-C or completely wireless charging.Īpple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo even reported in 2019 that the iPhone would drop the lightning port in its high-end 2021 lineup. Now, many Apple products along with Android smartphones, have switched to USB-C cables, leaving the iPhone in the dust. In 2012, Apple transitioned from the 30-pin connector debuted in 2003 to the lightning port’s reversible design and improved durability. If Apple decides to retire lightning, what port could we expect on the iPhone 14? The lightning port launched on the iPhone 5 and has been on every iPhone since. It’s been nearly 10 years since Phil Schiller unveiled the lightning cable as the “modern connector for the next decade” at the same September 2012 Apple event where the company announced its newest brainchild – the iPhone 5.
