About damn time! The situation with the iPhone 7 was absolutely ridiculous.

I will believe it when I see it. Being consumer friendly is inherently not Apple.

https://archive.is/oHcPy | https://vgy.me/hKvzdo.png :
'It’s also possible that the WSJ report means that USB-C will be incorporated not into the phone itself, but into its power adapters. '
'Apple’s new Ultra Accessory Connector (UAC) also makes it unlikely that the company will be dropping its Lightning port from the next iPhone. '
'That would mean replacing the USB-A plug on the end of the iPhone power cable with USB-C, like Apple has done with the adapters that ship with new MacBooks. '
'The company has already adopted USB-C on its MacBook line, and the two standards share some key features, including reversibility. '
'It would be an unusual move for Apple, which has never been afraid of pushing its own connection standards, but not completely inexplicable. '
This has been an automated message.

It'll be some kind of special Apple implementation of USB-C.

Shame it's an Apple phone.
Now if someone wrote custom software for it!

Good on Apple.
Usb-C is the future. I'm glad they realize it.

Haven't you guys heard about the new Nokia 3310? Time to ditch your apple crap.

Isn't it only 2G compatible? Australia canned the 2G network for 3/4G a while back so it won't work here :(

I don't really know what that means, but that is what the article says
