Do you own an iPhone with a Lightning port but wish it was USB-C? A new iPhone case just arrived that could be the best solution.
New case available for iPhone 14 line and older
Apple switched the iPhone to USB-C a couple years ago with the iPhone 15 line.
But many other devices, including Apple products like the Mac and iPad, went all-in on USB-C much sooner.
In 2025, it’s become increasingly likely that your iPhone might be the only device that still depends on Lightning. While products like laptops, tablets, and so much more—Nintendo Switch, portable fans, white noise machines, etc.—all use USB-C.
One expensive solution is to upgrade to a new iPhone. But if you’re largely happy with your iPhone, there’s now another option.
A new case from OBSOLESS will turn your iPhone’s Lightning port into a USB-C port instead.
The ‘iPh0n3 – USB-C Protection Case’ just launched, offering the prospect of USB-C for around $50-60.
This new case is available for a variety of older iPhone models, including:
- iPhone 14 line
- iPhone 13 line
- iPhone 12 line
- iPhone 11 line
- iPhone XS line
- iPhone SE models
- and more
You can browse all available options via the OBSOLESS website.
Wireless charging and MagSafe charging both work with the case, as does fast charging. The one downside is that any accessory requiring power from the iPhone won’t be compatible—for example, wired audio devices, external storage or displays.
