MacRumors reported that several Apple devices would transition soon, but it is not the entire lineup from the company that some expect from its preferences. It might be a massive dispute among Apple users as not all devices would have the USB-C, and some will remain to the Lightning connector, making its transition somewhat tricky, especially in owning different sets of wires.

For now, these five are what rumors claim to face a transition from its current version's input preferences for data cables that would soon change to the industry standard's universal USB-C connections.

Apple iPhone 15

There is much information regarding the iPhone 15's arrival in the next year, and it would feature the next significant redesign of the smartphone from the company. However, the most significant change that speculators see now is the change from Lightning Cable to USB-C, and it would feature what reviews and fans asked for in the past releases.

A famous insider, Ming-Chi Kuo, said that it would bring the transition soon, and it is a good idea for Apple to adopt this new focus.

Apple iPad Classic

The following device that would get a USB-C integration is the iPad Classic, which the report referred to as the entry-level tablet from Apple. Yes, the iPad does not get any significant updates in terms of design and functions, apart from the software update and new chips that Apple put in it during its new releases.

The iPad set to have the USB-C will bring its users' access more manageable and available for other data cables present.

Apple AirPods Charging Case

Apple's upcoming release for the wireless Bluetooth earphones will also feature a USB-C case that will forego its focus on the Lightning pins available on its charging case. The speculation on the next AirPods will brings the AirPods Pro 2 that would get the in-ear audio device a second version like the Gen 2 and Gen 3 from the original AirPods line.

Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack

The famous magnetic MagSafe Battery Pack mounts behind the iPhones will also transition to USB-C charging. It is different from its latest Lightning charging cable, and focusing on a USB-C would allow it to have a similar charger to the iPhone 15 in the coming year.
