With more and more electronic devices on the market using USB-C interfaces, and the limitations of Lighting in terms of charging, when to change the C port of iPhone has become a topic of great concern.
No matter how Apple plans the iPhone interface in the future, a foreign engineer named Ken Pillonel has recently changed the interface of an iPhone X to USB-C, and can charge (use the MacBook charger) and transmit data normally.
Ken Pillonel said in his introduction to the uploaded video that he had reverse engineered Apple's C94 connector, and made a PCB with a USB-C female seat, which was finally successfully installed on the iPhone X through continuous testing. The engineer said that next he would upload a long video to share more detailed transformation steps (Cook: To be honest, our company also had to steal the lessons from the C-port iPhone).
The European Commission last month proposed a revision of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), which clearly requires mobile electronic devices, including smart phones, tablets, cameras, etc., to use the USB-C interface as a universal charging interface. In reality, it can be said that for iPhone, However, Apple responded to the proposal by saying that the implementation of a single interface might stifle innovation.
