In April, informed sources reported that the iPhone 8 will retain the Lightning connector, but will use the USB Type-C Power Delivery. Today, Barclays analysts with reference to the supply chain confirmed this information, noting that Apple's new flagship will be delivered with a more powerful power adapter.

In 2012 the company from Cupertino changed the 30-pin Dock Connector to a more compact Lightning. There are rumors that after another five years, Apple can move to the USB-C connector, which is becoming more popular today.

However, analyst Barclays argues that the Cupertino will still retain the connector Lightning. In this case, the device will be equipped with a cord and a power adapter with USB-C. This step will support the initiative "One mobile phone charger for all", which was presented back in 2009 by the European Commission.

IPhone 8 will come with a more powerful 10 Watt power adapter. Cypress Semiconductor USB Type-C Power Delivery chips will be built directly into the smartphone and power supply for the device. This is the CYPD2104 module, which is used in the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

Thus, the iPhone 8 can be charged at a higher speed by connecting it to a complete 10-watt adapter with a USB-C connector, or to a 29-watt power supply that is available for the MacBook.

At the moment, Apple bundles the iPhone and iPad with 5-and 12-watt power adapters with slow USB-A connectors. Therefore, if you have a tablet, it is advisable to charge your iPhone with the iPad's power adapter. The charger is designed for more current, which means it can provide faster charging of the smartphone.
