Apple has just from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office—and it’s a new magnetic smart connector designed in several styles. There is no official announcement from Apple yet, but it could be safe to suspect that such a charger might be making its way into the iPhone 13. Apple has previously used a similar type of connector in the iPad, designed to link to Apple’s Smart Keyboard.
On this new design, it will resemble a more regular-style charging port, different from the three holes for the Smart Keyboard.
