New Case Offers USB-C Solution for Older iPhones

A new case is offering a solution for owners of older iPhones who are looking to upgrade to USB-C connectivity. The "iPh0n3 USB-C Protection Case" from OBSOLESS allows users with iPhones featuring the Lightning port to utilize USB-C accessories. The case integrates a USB-C port into its design, enabling compatibility with newer chargers and accessories.

The case is designed to be slim and does not add significant bulk to the phone. The case is currently available for iPhone 14 models, including the 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max, with other models already sold out. The case is priced at CHF 49.90, which translates to approximately $70.99 with shipping.

An alternative solution is a Lightning to USB-C adapter, which is a more affordable option. The adapter can be attached to a keychain for easy portability.

BNN's Perspective: While the case provides a convenient solution for those clinging to older iPhone models, the price point and limited model availability may make it less appealing than simply using an adapter.
