Backing up previous rumors that at least some models in the "iPhone 12" range will come with a redesigned USB-C to Lightning cable, a new leak claims to show what the braided cables look like.
Following earlier rumors, a new leak has revealed a series of photographs showing a braided USB-C to Lightning cable. Although previous reports said that this cable was intended for the "iPhone 12" range, the new leak does not specify even that it is made by Apple.

Leaker Mr White most recently claimed to have images of what may be back covers of the "iPhone 12 Pro," with space for the rumored LiDAR sensor. Previously, Mr White has also tweeted that the "iPhone 12" will "be equipped with a 20W power adapter."
Apple is now expected to announce its new "iPhone 12" range in an event on October 13.

Already have a USB-C to Lightning cable that I charge an iPhone 11 pro max, using ani iPad pro charger.
It’s about time Apple changed their cable. I have been complaining to the for years. The previous material used was horrible.
That braided cable comes with the Mac Pro to charge the keyboard/mouse.
I would love it if iPhone 12 came with a braided cable. I have been buying MFI certified braided cables when I needed replacements. Odd that articles last month or so were talking about saving box space because a Braided Cable would take up more space....
Is it only me that find it puzzling that Apple doesn’t simply stop with this lightning business? They have switched laptops and now iPads over to USB-C. Why make it harder on consumers that now have to carry more cables?
