Apple seems to care more about their customers than we think. Recently, the company has reduced the price of its USB-C to lightning cable. Keep reading for more details!
Apple makes USB-C to Lightning cable cheaper
It looks like Apple has made its USB-C to Lightning cable become cheaper than before. It’s quite rare for the company to reduce the prices of its accessories. What’s even weirder is that this move was announced just after we heard rumors saying Apple has decided to finally get rid of the use of USB-A in its iPhone and iPad charging adapters this year. To be specific, the 1m USB-C to Lightning cable allows faster charging than the one includes in the box if you have a compatible Apple device.
The initial price was a whopping $25 but now only costs $19. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen the USB-C to Lightning Cable sell for that much. Back during the so-called #donglegate period, Apple reduced the prices of all USB-C accessories, including the USB-C to Lightning Cable. Interestingly, it goes the same for the USB-A to Lightning cable (the one you get in the box of your iPhone or iPad). However, the 2m version of USB-C to Lightning cable hasn’t received a price drop yet.
It continues to go for $35. With this planned move, rumors also suggest that the company will introduce a new 18W USB-C Power Adapter with a new design soon. Not only would such a tool be more in line with the iPhone’s charging capabilities, it would also likely be smaller than the current 29W adapter. Besides, it would be able to fit in areas where a larger adapter may not.
Will Apple introduce a new USB-C Adapter soon?
A new 18W Power Adapter might also replace the 12W adapter currently included with all iPads, providing a single default power adapter for all new iOS devices. In the meantime, stay tuned with us for more updates regarding this new USB-C Adapter.
