2018 iPhone models could come with fast-charging USB-C adapters: Report

A number of reports in the past have spoken about how 2018 iPhone models could feature a USB Type-C adaptor, but there has also been a report that states that Apple is 'still in redesign phase' and would not be able to include such an adapter this year.Now, a fresh report by the Japanese blogger Macotakara states that these adaptors may roll out this year itself as the report shares photos of supposed Apple 18W USB-C adaptors which looks like an engineering prototype.[caption id="attachment_4657271" align="alignnone" width="1024"]
