Cable Landscape<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Shift_to_USB-C\"><\/span>The Shift to USB-C<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most notable changes in the iPhone 16 is the transition from the traditional Lightning connector to a USB-C port.
