Apple is widely speculated to finally introduce an iPhone with a USB Type-C port in 2023 and new evidence suggests that it is quite serious about the decision. The latest tweet from renowned Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reveals that even some of the Apple accessories launching in 2023 are expected to ditch the Lightning port in favor of a USB Type-C port. Here are the details.

According to Kuo's tweet, Lightning port-supported products such as AirPods, Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, Mouse, and MagSafe Battery will also get a USB Type-C port "in the foreseeable future." While the tweet doesn't necessarily say 2023, we expect it to happen alongside the iPhone 15, and perhaps it won't be the only product to see this significant change.

This means that Apple will completely switch to the USB Type-C standard and make it a universal thing for all its products and accessories in the next year or so. Kuo has also revealed that USB Type-C can improve the iPhone's transfer and charging speeds. Although we still don't know the exact numbers.

There are also rumblings of a portless iPhone, and if we believe it, this too could happen in the foreseeable future. Apple has been rumored about this many times in the past, but it turns out that it may still take some time to succeed. Kuo's latest tweet also revealed that a portless iPhone could cause problems due to "current limitations of wireless technology and the immature MagSafe ecosystem."
