Things are about to get interesting for the iPhone's charging port

If you're waiting for Apple to finally unveil an iPhone with a USB-C port, we have bad news: It's not happening this year. But there's still some serious intrigue in prospect for the iPhone's lone port in the months ahead.

Let's start with the iPhone 14 (fave.co/3F64b6q). According to iDropNews (fave.co/3kyLOZy), Apple is "working on [USB] 3.0 speeds for the iPhone 14 Pro connector." The current Lightning port is rated for USB 2.0, which has an abysmally slow transfer rate of 480 Mbps. USB 3.0 offers a transfer rate of around 5Gbps or about 10 times faster than the current Lightning port. LeaksApplePro reports that the feature will likely be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
