2018 iPhone models could come with fast-charging USB-C adapters: Report

A number of reports in the past have spoken about how 2018 iPhone models could feature a **USB Type-C adaptor** , but there has also been a  report that states that Apple is ‘still in redesign phase’ and would not be able to include such an adapter this year. Now, a fresh report by the Japanese blogger Macotakara states that these adaptors may roll out this year itself as the report shares photos of supposed Apple 18W USB-C adaptors which looks like an engineering prototype.

There is also the possibility of a USB-C to Lightning cable to be bundled inside the box. This charger may come with the **next generation** of iPhones and iPads that are expected to roll out in 2018. Apple offers fast charging support on the iPhone 8 , iPhone 8 Plus , and iPhone X , but to utilise it, users have to buy a USB-C to Lightning cable and a USB-C power adapter separately. It is high time now that Apple comes up with better-charging adaptors as paying an additional **Rs 8,000** for something that should already come out-of-the-box is obviously hurtful.
