I don't think this is the case. However, the flat edges are a plus in my opinion. I've held my sisters iphone 6 and it feels like i;m squeezing a thin disc.

ik its so hard to hold i constantly feel like im going to drop it. they should have kept the iphone 5 design because that was really easy to hold

While i don't think Apple would willingly ditch Lightning this soon after release, the EU is trying to push through a law forcing all phones in the EU to share a common connector. Could be related.

Apple may not have a choice unless they plan on having 2 different phone models with different docks for different regions of the world. Doesn't seem very Apple way of doing things. 

 

I'm torn on this. While I hate unnecessary propitiatory connectors Apple's was the only one that was actually good. I'm still using my original cable that came with my iPod classic from eight years ago -- how many micro USB cables is that true for?

the question is can you charge your iphone with your new macbook charger and vice versa

[Sauron]

Yay, it has as many ports as a laptop!

Don't have a macbook, so no for that reason

Apple will not use Type C on it's devices, USB allows root access. That is the reason apple made lightning at all, so you couldn't root your phone

[zanduh]

Why would they do type-c? There's nothing the iphone needs that a lightning connector can't do with a thinner profile

Like I predicted my 6+ will be with me for a very long time.

Sorry about the weird formatting. The article has some color issues.

April fools ended yesterday, you know.

Why would they move to Type C? Its Lightning. Come on.

Because fucking you, that's why.
