Here’s How the First iPhone with a USB-C Port Came to Be

But this doesn’t necessarily mean that USB-C can’t feel like home on an iPhone.

And robotics student Ken Pillonel has recently demonstrated this theory, as he managed to modify an iPhone X in such a way that it ended up featuring a USB-C port instead of Lightning.

A new video he published on YouTube shows how the whole thing came to be, and what’s more, it offers instructions on how someone else could do the same thing. It’s not easy, of course, but on the other hand, it can finally bring USB-C to an iPhone.
