A robotic engineer equipped the iPhone X with a USB-C port [تماشا کنید]


Despite all the rumors and requests, Apple has not yet made an iPhone with a USB-C port, but a robotics engineering student was able to work this port on an iPhone X and in addition to providing charging capability, it allows data transfer.

Ken Pilonel spent a few months of his free time on the project, spending a lot of USB-C and Lightning cables on a USB-C iPhone. Make. The Pilonel first built a prototype in May that allowed the iPhone battery to be charged via the USB-C port. The prototype was so large that it would not fit inside the iPhone, so he had to remove the extra wires and insert the port into the iPhone.

Pilonel reverse engineered Apple’s custom C94 connector to build its own PCB to fit inside the iPhone. He has now shown in a video on his YouTube channel how to charge and transfer data by installing a USB-C port on the iPhone X.

Pilonel has tampered with its iPhone X as the European Commission seeks to force manufacturers of smartphones and other electronic gadgets to use the USB-C port. So in the coming years, Apple will probably have to use the USB-C port on the iPhone or make a product that has no port at all and will only be charged via wireless communication or send and receive data.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. He is a graduate student in robotics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and previously managed to charge the Galaxy Fold on this device by manipulating the Xiaomi Mi Wireless Car Charger.

Apple introduced Magosif technology to the iPhone 12 last year, but there’s still no word on USB-C. That is why it is speculated that the Cupertinos will eventually abandon wired ports and work only with wireless technologies.
