A swiss engineer succesfully changed his lightning port to usb-c!
Watch this!

Cool I guess but what’s the big deal about usb c on iPhone. I don’t get the difference besides having one cable less…

USB-C transfer speed can far exceed lightening USB2.0 speed (60MB/s duplex), offer better power delivery (with circuitry support) and of course, one less cable to deal with. With Apple pushing ProRes, meaning 120GB/30min, lightning and even wireless transfer would be way too slow.

I also prefer USB-C in that lightning connectors feel flimsy.

Apple introduced USB-C to the new iPad mini, wish they'd bring it to iPhone.

Lightning can run at USB-3 if they'd let it. See the iPad models from 2015 to 2018. While we're at it, what's the transfer speed like on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max?

Great, I hope he needs a warranty repair…

If they can replace the charging port I’m sure they’ve got the skills to replace something else. Unless they’re an idiot 😄
