Many are questioning why regardless of Apple seemingly embracing USB-C for its computer systems and iPads, that the iPhone nonetheless makes use of the corporate’s proprietary Lightning port. In reality, Apple appears to be slightly immune to the thought even when the EU steered that they might be making it necessary for gadgets to assist a regular port design.

That being stated, a few of you may recall that engineer Ken Pillonel just lately modded an iPhone X to present it a working USB-C port, and plainly he has since listed his creation on eBay the place the highest bid presently of writing is on the $100,000 mark. According to Pillonel, he’s calling this the world’s first public iPhone with a USB-C port, which we suppose he’s right as it’s doable that Apple in all probability prototyped iPhones with USB-C ports that they by no means launched.

According to the outline, “I guarantee that the phone will work when you receive it but if you don’t follow the aforementionned guidelines you are on your own. So basically you can do whatever you want with it but don’t expect anything from me if you break something. It is just a prototype.”

That being stated, with it priced at $100,000, we’re unsure if it is a severe bid or a joke one since paying $100,000 is rather a lot for a cellphone, however who is aware of, perhaps to some collectors it may be value it.
