According to noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi
Kuo, Apple will skip the in-box accessories for its iPhone 12 series. While
there is no definitive answer whether this is the case, a set of images show us
Apple’s alleged new braided Lighting to USB-C cables. Leakster @L0vetodream is
giving us our first look at the new cables which come in black and white
colors.
Apple does offer a black Lighting cable
with its 2017 iMac Pro which serves for charging the included Magic Keyboard
and Magic Mouse 2 but has always included white cables with all its iPhones.
According to speculation, the new Lighting cables will measure 1.05m just like
the current in-box one but their diameter will be significantly larger at
3.04mm.
Some subtle differences with these new
cables are that the white one is missing the rubber tubing below the connector
while the black version has the tubing but also appears to have a matte finish
on top. There is still no confirmation that these cables are legit or if Apple
will bundle them with the iPhone 12 series so we’ll have to wait for more details
to come.
