Good news for Apple fans! Apple AirPods, Apple Magic Keyboard, Trackpad, Mouse, and even the MagSafe battery might be getting the USB Type-C port soon.

"Known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the change in ports won’t happen until 2023. Apple is reportedly working to make all its devices port-free. Meanwhile, the European Union has been pushing to make a universal port/charger for all smartphones in a bid to cut down on e-waste," BGR India report said.

Mark Gurman also claimed that the iPhone maker is indeed planning a switch to USB-C from Lightning for the iPhone, testing future models with the connector as well as an adapter for old accessories, the report further added.

As per report, Kuo also revealed some details that may result in an iPhone with a USB Type-C port soon. Kuo claimed that he conducted a survey, according to which the future iPhone will be ditching the decade-old Lightning port in favour of a much more superior USB Type-C port. He did not reveal what kind of a survey he conducted.

He hinted at this by claiming that the existing vendors that provide Apple with USB Type-C components such as IC controller and connector will become the market’s focus in the next 1-2 years. This could be due to the massive orders that Apple will be placing for its iPhones.

He said, “It’s expected to see existing USB-C-related suppliers of Apple’s ecosystem (e.g., IC controller, connector) become the market’s focus in the next 1-2 years, thanks to vast orders from iPhones and accessories’ adoption of USB-C ports.”
