The iPhone Case That Brings USB-C to Your Older iPhone
Remember the engineer who made waves by creating the first USB-C iPhone? Well, he's back with a brilliant evolution of his work: a phone case that swaps out the Lightning port on older iPhones for the universally adopted USB-C. Ken Pillonel, the innovator behind this project, is actively combating planned obsolescence, aiming to give users a compelling reason to hold onto their beloved iPhones for longer. This new venture builds upon his wildly popular 2021 modification, significantly enhancing support for fast charging.
From Viral Mod to Market-Ready Product
Pillonel himself shared his excitement, stating that he's transforming his one-off DIY mod into a tangible product available for everyone to own. He emphasized that this is no longer just a clever hack; it represents the most extensive project he has undertaken to date.
Key Features and Availability
This innovative iPhone case is now accessible for a wide range of models and can be purchased starting today through obsoless.com. Pricing falls within the $45 to $55 range. Among its impressive features are seamless MagSafe charging compatibility, effortless data transfers to computers, full CarPlay support, and robust 9V fast charging. A significant improvement over his 2021 USB-C hack, where fast charging was contingent on cable orientation, this new case ensures rapid charging regardless of how you plug it in. It's worth noting that some functionalities present in Lightning and USB-C devices may not be fully replicated.
