Apple will replace iPhone charging cables with more reliable ones

Headphone and charger gone from the box with the next generation iPhone It will not be the only change in the delivery. how writes MacRumors, citing the publication of ChargerLAB in the Chinese social network Weibo, will put a new, more durable cable for charging and synchronizing with a computer in the box for the smartphone.

On published ChargerLAB snapshots depicts a USB-C to Lightning cable in a fabric braid. It is alleged that this is a “native” accessory of Apple, which will be equipped with all models of the “iPhone 12”. The cables that Apple supplied with the iPhone were widely criticized for their quick wear – the rubber coating near one of the connectors was especially torn.

In addition, the contacts of the Lightning connector could oxidize in a year or two, which led to the complete or partial inoperability of the accessory. This problem, according to ChargerLAB, Apple also solved – the contacts of the new cable are coated with rhodium, which should make them more durable.

The length of the cable that ChargerLAB had at its disposal was 1.05 meters and the thickness was 3.04 mm. That is, the new cord is slightly thicker and longer than its predecessor. Tests have shown that the accessory meets the standard of corporate certification Made for Apple and allows you to charge iPhone 11 Pro at maximum speed.

Apple already produces fabric-braided cables — for example, the Thunderbolt Pro cable or the black Lightning cable that comes with the Mac Pro desktop computer. The HomePod smart speaker power cable is similarly protected.
