Apple's iPhone 12 has seen plenty of leaks around the new design, the upgraded cameras, but it looks like the iPhone in 2021 could mark one of the biggest changes: the end of a charging port entirely. So far we have seen plenty of rumours about whether Apple would kill the Lightning connector in favour of a Type-C USB port, given the iPad and MacBook now all come with Type-C USB charging.
The highly-regarded Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities brings the same predictions as that previous report, along with new predictions about the next iPhone SE 2 and a high-end iPhone with no lightning port. The iPhone 2021 will have no charging port. The Lightning connector will be removed on the highest-end versions, and instead replaced by wireless charging.
For 2020, Kuo expects a total of five iPhone models: one 6.7-inch high-end iPhone, two 6.1-inch iPhones (one high-end and one lower-tier), and one entry-level 5.4-inch iPhone, each of which would also have support for Sub-6GHz and/or mmWave 5G . Kuo also expects a new iPhone SE to be coming sometime in the first half of 2020. It is expected to have a 4.7-inch display and mimic the size and design of the iPhone 8 with updated internals, and an updated single camera.
