Tattoo artist Karen Green received an Apple iPhone 7 as a gift. To commemorate his first job, his friends gave it to him. However, he never opened it as he had already bought a smartphone at that time.
The smartphone is bound for AT&T’s now operational US network. Unfortunately, anyone who buys the device may not be able to use it like a normal phone. However, he will have an older Apple product.
According to Apple, the iPhone 15 series will have a USB Type-C port. A report by Macrumours claims that the corporation is currently aiming to limit Type-C ports in the same way as Lightning ports.
Rumor has it that the USB-C connector on the iPhone 15 and its accompanying charging cord will feature an authenticator chip like Lightning, potentially limiting their compatibility with third-party peripherals not supported by Apple.
