Apple's new iPhone will soon be available, and may be equipped with all the new technologies that Apple can do. However, unlike some previous rumors, the new iPhone 8 smartphone may not use the USB-C interface. Here, AppleInsider explains why Apple still insists on using Lightning instead of USB-C interface in iPhone 8 smartphones. In AppleInsider's view, Apple's iPhone has to use the Lightning interface for at least a year. As AppleInsider said before, there is no wind and no waves. So far, the rumors about the iPhone 8 are overwhelming, and it's not uncommon to include rumors about whether Apple's next-generation iPhone smartphone is named "iPhone 8". Some rumors claim that the next-generation iPhone will use USB-C as the main interface for this phone, but most rumors have not said so. Although a small amount of rumors are different, in the eyes of AppleInsider, the new iPhone will still stick to the Lightning interface instead of USB-C. Here are the reasons why AppleInsider holds this view. USB-C charging can be seen everywhere, and performance seems to be better, especially in low-power devices. For example, a 15-inch MacBook Pro computer uses a USB-C interface. In other words, from the current situation, Lightning will still be used in some Apple devices. As a result, Lightning will still be used as a charging device, even in newer phones with Apple's most advanced technology. Of course, if Apple really develops a wireless charging device, it needs to be another matter. This is the case, the Lightning interface will be used by Apple as usual, at least for all versions of iPhone in 2017. In theory, the USB-C interface has a fast transfer speed, but the Lightning interface can also reach the speed of USB 3 as long as the environment is suitable. In fact, some hardware has integrated Lightning and USB interfaces. For example, the Lightning interface of the 12.9-inch iPad Pro tablet supports the USB 3.0 camera adapter. After the two interfaces are integrated, the USB-A interface in the adapter can transfer photos and other data, so that images or data on compatible devices can be transferred to another larger iPad tablet without any problem. . This feature has not been extended to other iOS devices, mainly due to the impact of the Fresco Logic FL1100SX master controller mentioned above. In fact, the Fresco Logic FL1100SX main controller allows the 12.9-inch iPad tablet to be compatible with the USB charging interface. Therefore, the future iPhone can achieve the same fast transfer speed as USB while continuing to use Lightning. In addition, Apple is working hard to develop wireless charging and transmission equipment for the iPhone. Once the R&D is successful, Apple will push all users to use wireless charging or data transmission. Therefore, in this sense, there is no need to replace USB in the new generation iPhone. -C interface. Test results show that Lightning and USB-C mechanical strength is roughly equivalent, but significantly stronger than the 30-pin connector. In either case, the metal head break is not a good result, but overall, Lightning has an advantage over USB-C in this regard. When the Lightning metal head breaks, it will inevitably leave some metal in the iPhone or iPad, which can be confirmed by testing the old iPhone 5 phone. However, after the metal head is removed, the Lightning port still works well, both for charging and for data transmission. Another test showed that if the metal head of the USB-C interface breaks, the female inside will often deform before the metal head, causing the product to fail. Of course, this situation does not necessarily occur in the USB-C interface of the iPhone, but in any case, the USB-C interface will certainly not appear in the iPhone 8 smartphone. In the words that Steve Jobs said, for Apple, USB-C is still "not a small injury." Of course, if Apple insists on using the Lightning interface in a new generation of iPhones, then this may cause confrontation among groups of users who want to see universality. However, if Apple replaces the interface, it will bother those peripheral users, even if Apple provides users with low-cost low-end adapters, just as the company is replacing the 30-pin interface. There is no doubt that the USB-C interface is very rugged, the interface itself has the same tamper resistance as Lightning, and it is suitable for very popular small ports for use on cross-platforms. In addition, from the experience of users using MacBook Pro and MacBook, this interface has been more successful. Of course, Apple's final use of the USB-C port will be an inevitable trend, but it is unlikely to be this year. From the past experience in the computer, Apple may still take longer to replace the iPhone interface.
