New Case Brings USB-C Port to Lightning iPhones


An independent engineer known for modifying Apple products today revealed a new accessory that adds a fully functional USB-C port to older iPhones...

In a new video, Pillonel explains how he overcame many of the technical challenges involved in developing the case, such as ensuring compatibility with fast charging. The case itself consists of two parts that clamp around the phone, connecting to the Lightning port through a precisely aligned connector embedded within the enclosure. With the fourth beta of iOS 26, Apple has again made changes to the Liquid Glass design that's available across the operating system, tweaking how the menus and buttons appear in apps.
