The truth behind an iPhone rumor that is convincing people to ditch Apple completely has finally been revealed.<\/p>\n

This comes as a concept video is doing the rounds on social media which appears to show the device featuring a completely different charging port.<\/p>\n

Apple officially stopped its use of the lightning cable back in 2023 with the release of the iPhone 15.<\/p>\n

Since then, the tech giant\u2019s phones have included the USB-C port, which is the charging port featured with last year\u2019s drop of the iPhone 17.<\/p>\n

However, rumors are now circulating that this could all be about to change.<\/p>\n

This is because an AI-generated video of the rumored iPhone 18, which is speculated to be announced later this year, appears to feature a MagSafe port instead of a USB-C.<\/p>\n

This has led to much confusion among fans, with many taking to social media to share their own reactions to the clip.<\/p>\n

In the TikTok comment section of one video discussing the rumor, one user wrote: \u201cit be frying me when i see that bc why would apple just stop the usbc after 3 phones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another said: \u201cThat can\u2019t transmit data, there\u2019s already magsafe, European laws mandate usb c. Couldn\u2019t be more fake.\u201d<\/p>\n

A third person commented: \u201cBro it is just a MacBook charger scaled down.\u201d<\/p>\n

And a fourth added: \u201cI didn\u2019t believe it at first but the amount of people that believed it started to make me believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rumors about the new iPhone are circulating on social media (SimpleImages\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n

However, let\u2019s not all panic just yet because the AI video is clearly not an official announcement or leak from Apple and the consensus online is that the clip is a fake.<\/p>\n

It is unlikely that Apple will make the switch over to MagSafe charging ports, especially after the European Union (EU) mandated that all smartphones must have a USB-C port.<\/p>\n

This is one of the reasons why the tech giant made the move away from its lightning cable initially.<\/p>\n

It is expected that news of the iPhone 18 model will become available later in the year,…<\/p>\n
