New Images Leak of iPhone 12 Braided USB-C to Lightning Cable

[Zerlina]

Apple: You want a new charging cable?
Consumer: Yes Please
Apple: (No included charging brick)-small catch
Consumer: 🤦🏽‍♀️

I think the Pro models will come with a fast charger, and the non-Pros will come without the standard one.

no chargers in any iphone 12 models...that all the rumours says
After that if you want the 5W 18W or the new 20W its your choice what you will buy (but for the 5W you will need the usbA-lightning cable also)

 

[AnthonyG6]

So they are going to ship the new iPhone without a power adaptor to save the environment because most people have power adaptors already but they changed the fcuking cable to USB-C so most people will need to buy a separate USB-C power adaptor! Seems more like a money making scam than trying to save the planet. And of course the iPhone price won't be any cheaper than previous years!

 

[TheOldChevy]

For me, this is just a transition. I am convinced that within one year all Apple devices (but the Apple Watch ?) will have USB-C supply connector. Or they will be wireless charging.

Yeah well, I disagree with those rumors.
The expensive models of Apple Watches still come with a charger.

Took them long enough.

I’m guessing the AWS6 doesn’t even come with a USB-C cable?

It’s USB A but as someone who bought an AW6 on launch day last week, I requested the USB C version
And they swapped it for me free of charge

why usb-c just for 1 year...since from 2021 iphone goes port-less

That would make 98% of CarPlay enabled cars redundant. Not sure if it’s even an option in most cars.

 

[FHoff]

You go out of your way to visit a website whose stated purpose is to serve up every bit of news and rumor on new things from Apple, and then you complain about a rumor of something new from Apple? I don't get it.

I’m thinking of a word. It begins with a T

 

[James Godfrey]

Really happy that the cable is braided, the no power adapter is a bit meh... but can understand why...

I think it’s about time Apple started selling the Apple Watch face only, rather than having to buy a strap every time (this is also quite harmful to the environment).

Just wondering how much the power adapter and cable will be on their own?...

 

[James Godfrey]

As for lightning I can understand again why no usb c on the iPhone... does everyone remember the uproar when they changed the connection last time...

I don’t think USB C will ever come to iPhone, most likely go straight from lightning to wireless

 

[JosephAW]

Where's lightning 2.0 ? Too slow for data transfer.

 

[joeblow7777]

Okay, so here's what I don't understand about Apple not providing a power brick this year:

The rationale is that most people already have them so it would just create more waste... Okay, that makes sense. But the cable they're packing this year is lighting to USB-C... Don't the vast majority of iPhone and iPad owners probably have USB-A charging bricks that came with previous devices? Only people with iPad Pros and certain model Macbooks will have a USB-C charger.

I'm hoping that the iPad Air 4 will be available before the iPhone 12, and I intend to get both, but if the Air doesn't come first, I don't own a single USB-C charging brick.

There are a number of excellent braided cables already available. I doubt the Apple one will be worth the high price they will seek.

 

[Kylo83]

its only for eco reasons, I think they wanna stop all plastic, these could break more

 

[GuruZac]

Honestly, I simply don’t understand why Apple hasn’t migrated to USB-C on iPhone. Mac and all iPad but the base model is USB-C. AirPods 2 and Pro should have also been USB-C.

I’m a big fan and user of the Nomad cables. Have the 2m and 3m USB-C cables for my MBP and iPP.

 

[Agit21]

So still Lightning, no 120 hz, no mmwave 5g
***** Apple.

Well if they're making a braided cable for "durability," that could mean they're looking for it to last more than one year. So there's that...

 

[bLackjackj]

You do know that even the current generation has a USB-C to Lightning cable in the box, right? And that they've offered cables with those connections for some time now? The only thing new about this cable is the braided sheath. 🙄

My point exactly! 🤦‍♂️🤣

 

[manu chao]

Having to travel with a different charging cable for each device is such a mess. One for the iPad Pro. One for the iPhone. One for the watch.

Plus one for my Fitbit and one for my Jaybirds. Plus a micro USB one for another one my devices.

 

[5105973]

Ooh, I like this. Unfortunately I think my pets will be more likely to chew on this, while they leave rubberized cables alone. I mean, if the attacks on my shoelaces are any indication.

 

[Maxis]

The Only reason I am Not going into IPhone 12 is the lack of USB-C. All other pros have it. Wireless charging would be acceptable but not lightning.

Still no USB-C on the iPhone??? Ridiculous.

 

[cocky jeremy]

I already have tons of 6' braided cables but I'm sure it will find a nice spot in the back of a closet or something.

 

[MacinMan]

So here is a question, I don't have anything with a USB-C port for charging. If I were to buy an iPhone 12, and it comes with this cable: Would I still be able to use one of my USB A to Lightning cables to charge the phone, or even connect to the Mac? Just hoping Apple isn't planning on forcing USB C "is my main question"
