If you're dismayed at the likelihood that Apple will skip including a charger in the box and wired EarPods in the box with the iPhone 12 range, there's perhaps one silver lining: the Lightning cable will exist actually, really nice.

Twitter user and leaker @L0vetodream has shared four images of a white braided USB-C to Lightning cable that has been rumored to transport with Apple's upcoming handsets. Apple tree currently doesn't offer a braided Lightning cable — well, at least non if you don't beat out out $6,000 on a Mac Pro, which happens to come with a fancy black one.

Braided cables are typically more durable than silicone-shrouded ones, and less susceptible to tangling. However, equally MacRumors points out, the white cable expected to ship with next-generation iPhones notably lacks the silicone reinforcement near the edges that is nowadays on the black Mac Pro edition cable.

It'south also unclear at this phase if this USB-C to Lightning cable volition be packaged with every iPhone 12 variant, or if it will only exist included with the higher-terminate Pro models. Final year's entry-level 6.i-inch iPhone xi got a USB-A cable in the box and a standard 5-watt adapter, rather than Apple's newer, faster USB-C-based accessories.

Ironically, this could be the final hurrah for the Lightning cable. Insiders have hinted that Apple volition ditch cables for at least one of the iPhone 13 models, which may get entirely portless, instead opting for wireless charging or a Smart Connector, similar to what the iPad Pro employs.

Ultimately, getting a braided Lightning cable will be a somewhat hollow consolation prize for missing out on an adapter and wired headphones. Apple volition reportedly release a new fast 20-watt charger that will be sold separately around the time the iPhone 12 emerges. It will likely replace the electric current eighteen-watt brick, which costs $30.

Yesterday, a study from the rather dubious Macotakara claimed the iPhone 12 launch event will slip into October, based on information from "multiple suppliers in People's republic of china." The LTE-simply iPhone 12 models might run into release that same month, while the 5G-capable ones would exist pushed off until November. Over again, this source'due south rail record is pretty hit-and-miss overall, only given the year 2020 has been, further delays certainly wouldn't be out of the question.
