iPhone 13 with USB-C

Date : July 20, 2022

Apple phones are known for being behind Android phones a few years in technology developments and listening to what their customers want. This is not an Apple vs. Android debate. I call it as I see it. I am an Apple user but seriously Apple, you need to fire whoever is in charge of the design decisions.

Quick examples of terrible design decisions:

  • Removing the headphone jack from iPhones.
  • Removing all ports except USB-C from MacBooks.
  • Placing USB-C ports only on the left side of the MacBook Air.
  • Charging port under the wireless mouse (really?)
  • Apple Pencil exposed on the side of iPad Air.
  • Lightning ports on iPhones but USB-C on MacBooks.

Apple (as always) is dragging their feet at implementing new technology across the board in all its products, this time I am talking about USB-C on iPhones

Well this guy decided not to wait and figured out a simple way to add the necessary circuitry inside his iPhone 13 to make it work. The best part is that Apple can’t do a single thing to stop him or block the use of an authorized cable chip to made this modification work flawlessly. Louis Rossmann would be proud.

Check out his video!

This is ingenuity at its finest, this guy swapped the lightning port with a USB-C port and he shows the process step by step.
