One of the main reasons for this shift from Lightning connector to USB-C could be the European Union’s push for USB- C armed devices, which shouldn’t be a problem for Android device makers since most of the Android-running smartphones or tablets launched in the last few years came with the USB-C port.
However, Apple is anxious that the European law decreeing just one type of connector for all devices on the market will damage European consumers by abating down the introduction of beneficial innovations in charging standards, including those associated to safety and energy ability.

The European union has dismissed the accusations of this move to USB-C impeding innovation, saying the “bid states that if a new standard come up that is better than USB-C, we can modify the rules.”
Regardless of whether or not the European law muzzles innovation, a shift from the Lightning port to USB-C would benefit iPhone users with better data transfers and faster charging.
