The truth is, many of us were expecting Apple to add a USB-C port to the iPhone 11 Pro instead of the Lightning port. Before the new flagship was released , rumors about this change had been rife, but ultimately it never happened.
But maybe there's a way to get what we're asking for after all. What do we mean? A hacker recently turned an iPhone 11 Pro into a Pro Max. So getting USB-C on the iPhone 11 Pro doesn't seem impossible.
Scotty Allen is the man behind the iPhone 7, which was the first to add a 3.5mm headphone jack to the iPhone 7 when Apple wanted to remove it for good. Now, he's trying to add a USB-C port to the iPhone 11 Pro.
In his latest video, Scotty carefully opens up an iPhone 11 Pro and begins looking for a place to fit in a USB-C port. After much examination of the device's circuitry, he finally points out an empty space where he thinks he could fit a USB-C port.
According to Scotty, successful placement is a challenge, but the biggest challenge is finding the space to fit the USB-C port.
He removed the barometric vent that adds waterproof sealing to the smartphone. He discovered that Apple has added a piece of plastic attached to the vent to cover the space where the 3.5mm headphone jack used to be.
This will likely be the point where the hacker will try to add the USB-C port to his iPhone 11 Pro.
However, as the installation effort dragged on, Allen began to wonder whether all this hard work was worth it or not.
It should be noted that adding a 3.5mm audio jack to the iPhone 7 took him three months of hard work. For this reason, he began to have doubts about whether he should proceed with adding a USB-C port to the iPhone 11 Pro.
Scotty has invited users to help him make a decision by leaving comments under his YouTube. You can also comment if you want to see him complete this hack.
