Engineer creates world's first iPhone with USB Type-C instead of Lightning port

A Master's student in the field of Robotics has managed to replace the lightning port on his iPhone X with a USB Type-C port that functions perfectly. Is it time for Apple to make the switch too?

Apple fans around the world have been waiting for the day when Apple announces a shift to USB Type-C for its products, especially iPhones. One fan has ended this wait for himself, having embedded a USB Type-C port on his iPhone X. The inventor is now calling it the world's first iPhone with a USB-C port.

Needless to say, the USB-C port comes in place of the lightning port of the iPhone. The interesting part, however, is that the creator of the first-of-its-kind product has managed to enable all the functionalities on the new port. That means that the modified iPhone X can charge as well as transfer data through the port using a USB Type-C cable.
