It's only been a few weeks since we informed you in our magazine about a very interesting feat by robotics engineer Ken Pill.onela, who managed to replace his iconic iPhone Lightning konewho for the more modern USB-C. And since this act caused a complete uproar in the world and rekindled discussions about whether Apple had or, conversely, did not have LightningukoneAfter a long time, Pillon has now decided to revive the whole thing a bit. He uploaded a video on YouTube that maps out his entire project and that could help more skilled DIYers with experience with electricity in a similar feat that he succeeded in.

The video, which you can watch below, reveals a lot about the project, from the initial idea to the creation of components and their implementation in the body of the phone. In addition, Pillon published all his knowledge that he gained while converting the iPhone on Github, so anyone can, with a little exaggeration, embark on a similar upgrade. However, it is necessary to take into account that this is not an absolutely easy task and the risk of damage to the iPhone is quite high. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that such an upgrade will automatically void your warranty, so it makes no sense to perform it on newer iPhonech. Nevertheless, the entire project cannot be denied its extreme interest.
About deploying USB-C on iPhones instead LightningIt has been talked about for many years, especially in connection with European Union regulations that aim to unify charging ports to eliminate electronic waste. AppHowever, the company is absolutely reluctant to adopt USB-C and, according to some sources, is even determined to completely eliminate the physical port rather than have to adopt USB-C. However, only time will tell whether such a solution is feasible.
I haven't used a cable in about two years. I charge wirelessly and sync data via iCloud (on wifi at home or in theanclu about 750Mbps, 5G something like that), I will use it exceptionally Airdrop. To theonewhich is just dusty, they can easily remove it 🙂
I'm in exactly the same situation as you, I also only charge wirelessly and I wouldn't mind at all if the whole port was canceled.
It doesn't work for me without a cable. CarPlay.
And when I'm driving, I listen to music in the car through it. I have a B&O with almost 2000W. And the difference between BT and cable is to know them.
But then you certainly don't need music in lossless quality at all, because you can get it from iPhone without aonewhich you will never get.
The idiot has no idea what it's all about :-D.

But this way there would be no way to play lossless audio, no way to fast charge and fast data transfer. Do you care that such an expensive device will lose other possibilities of use? If you don't use it, then no one should? If you don't use something, don't use it. Someone else will be happy to use that option. For example, I like to connect high-quality headphones via an external DAC and enjoy lossless audio or even hi-res audio.
Like good… But why would anyone do that?
Guys, I really don't understand what you have to do with USB-C, I only charge wirelessly, as Mr. Vyssie says, and konewhich I have actually
Just to be honest... in addition, I know 6 different people who use different types of Android and each of them had a problem with the mentioned konewhich usb-c that went wrong and they had to deal with a complaint, which only tells me that it obviously isn't, and it's also terrible when it's defective, and that's why I wouldn't want it for anything, and obviously apple they are also aware of it and that's why they haven't put it there yet...
If they thought so, they wouldn't put it in all their other devices from laptops to tablets. I agree with wireless.
So if there are "exposed" bilateral elastic pins on a thin male, the risk is of course much higher than with lightningwhich also has exposed pins but is in fact one immovable piece. The same was/is the case with microUSB. It often broke even when you look at it. MiniUSB a little better and USB-A even better.
Lightning is 2,5” each jacksecond, built to last, best charger/data cableonewhich of all times.
Lightning is now an outdated snail for both data and charging.
At the show iPad mini usb-c was praised to heaven.
It's interesting that my USB-C cable has been working for exactly 6 years. I got the cable from my LG Nexus 5X phone and now I'm using Google Pixel 2XL.
