Probably not. But in all seriousness, that's great that you can move entirely to wireless. I personally can't afford that. I'm actually using a Pixel 2 XL and have a 2017 mbp, so I am now even more tied into the USB-C life. And it's great. When Apple decides to finally ditch lightning, that'll be even better.
Right on! They did it on the iPad, and I'm sick of carrying multiple cables for my mobile devices. It's bad enough with all the dongles for the Mac!
Everybody will have to buy a dongle. If something happens to my cable, or I lose it, or forget to pack it and have to buy a new one, I'll have to find not only a a USB-C cable, but one that goes to a Lightning port. Or, a USB-A to USB-C dongle that will adapt the most common iPhone cord available worldwide.And previous models would have to buy a dongle.
Why? so the 6 dorks on the internet who care about it can have it, while the rest of hundreds of millions of iPhone customers who prefer the cable just not change can be thoroughly inconvenienced?Please please please just have USB-C on the phone.
This, like any time over the last 12 years, would be a great time for Apple to up its game on its fragile totally **** self destructing cables.
Yeah the Anker GaN chargers are pretty fascinating. I definitely wonder if Apple will follow suit eventually.

Yeah. Not happening.
[doublepost=1556568922][/doublepost]Yeah this makes. All those USB-C cables you see built into infrastructure everywhere are totally ready for it! Oh wait...
You mean the “new” 29W charger that was replaced with a 30W charger? Or the “new” 29W charger that has been superseded with an 18W charger?OK moving in the right direction. Now how about shipping iPad Pros with the 29W USB-C charger.
The 6S doesn't support fast charging. That's why it's the same result to 94-95 percent.
Didn't realize the 6S didn't support fast charging. I may try the same test with my IP XS or my iPad Pro.Wondering why you chose to use an iPhone 6S instead of your iPhone XS in your signature. Did you also use the iPad Air in your signature? I don't think either one of those devices supports fast charging in the sense of actual PD.
Nope, it's all regulated anyway.Didn't know that! I'll have to try the same test with my IP Xs and my iPad Pro 10.5.

The main reason I didn't do either of those with my test was I wasn't sure if the 29W might toast my XS.
For now, to take advantage of fast charging, customers have to spend a total of $48 to purchase a standalone 18W USB-C power adapter and Lightning to USB-C cable from Apple
Consumers in Australia have always had cables and power adaptors included in every purchase of an Apple product, you lot in the US be being ripped off, or have very poor consumer laws.
Here's a crazy idea: A common charging format for all apple laptops, pads and phones.
Maybe not creative or original, but it is truthful. Anyone who buys a new-design Apple notebook is not going to automatically have the necessary cable to connect an iPhone. At the time Apple used the 30-pin connector and the Lightning connector, there were good reasons to use a proprietary connector. Now, there aren't so much, anymore, and Apple has even recognized this by ditching the Lightning connector for USB-C on its flagship iPad Pro. It's time to do the same on the rest of its mobile devices.wow, what a creative and original comment.
They did that when they abandoned the headphone jack, as well.And previous models would have to buy a dongle.
Won't happen for a very long time. What do you do when your completely sealed iPhone 15 is bricked? Do the Geniuses at the Apple Store have some sort of super secret wireless resetter device?Apple is really jumping over USB-C for the iPhone, straight to wireless charging. I think that when they drop Lightning, it'll be for a completely sealed phone, with no physical ports at all.

The latest iPhones appear to charge at up to 18 watts via USB-C. I think the fastest Qi chargers charge at maybe half that rate, and also generate a lot of heat (which is wasted energy and leads to battery degradation).
Why?How about USB-C on a iPhone, maybe?
