12 June 2018
For a long time it's been said that we'd see the universal connector in this year's models.

    Brandstifter, 15 Jun 2018I don't have anything against copying enhancements. However... moreThere's always room to improve that.
    I think it's a matter of taste.
    With more and more users acceptingthe iOS-like huawei and xiaomi's ui (other brands also exist), Google probably chose to test whether a larger user base would accept that look or not *shrug*

    To me, UI is of little importance, as long as I can call, text and use my apps, anything will do.

      It's still a sleek and modern design, don't get me wrong. Beats Holo or iOS 6 on any day. But it's nowhere as good as Material Design.

              iOS also copied some android elements before. In my opinion, users win either way.

              I highly doubt apple will implement a usb-c port inside the phone, probably a lighting port with a lighting cable and a lightning to usb-c dongle, a usb-c to usb-a dongle, and a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle. That's, naturally with the already existing lighting dongles.

                apple actually already does have a wall charger with usb-c port....

                  With Google striving to make Android look like iOS lately I'd rather expect Pixels to adopt Lightning.

                              Very misleading title.
                              Anyway, Apple is nowhere near to get rid of the Lightning. Without talking about the quality of the port (and its pros and cons), it just bring Apple way too much money.

                                  Apple dont forget to patent USB-C like your own and force all to the courts for stealing your technology :-)
                                  Last year they copied amoled, face scanner from Samsung and stereo speakers dolby atmos from Lenovo and the Notch from Essential phone.
                                  Year before with Iphone 7 they took IP protection froim Samsung every year they copy something and present as their own.
                                  I assume this year they will copy tripple camers setup from Huawei maybe borrow a Leica even borrow a Gal Gadot for their Marketing :-)
                                  But people always love crapple :-)
