"iPhone's 2024 Upgrades: Enhanced Messaging and More Affordable Accessories"
In 2024, Apple's iPhone 15 is expected to introduce significant changes, including the shift from proprietary Lightning connectors to the more universal USB-C ports, following an EU directive for a common charging standard. This move will allow consumers to use cheaper, third-party cables and unify charging solutions across different device ecosystems. Additionally, Apple plans to support the Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard, which will improve multimedia messaging between iPhones and Android devices, although iMessage will remain distinct. The RCS update is anticipated to be part of an iPhone software update in 2024.
