'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. '
