“Following the USB power adapter redesign rumors, we’ve now received word that Apple’s new reversible Lightning to USB cable may not be ready in time to ship with the iPhone 6,” Dom Esposito reports for 9to5Mac.
“According to third-party Apple retailer Moca.co, Apple has yet to place orders for the reversible cable from its manufacturing partner,” Esposito reports. “Apparently, samples have been sent to Apple for approval by the manufacturing partner, but nothing else has moved forward in the production process at this time.”
Esposito reports, “Once everything is set into motion, it could be a number of months before the cables are ready for consumer purchase.”

“The redesigned power adapter may, however, be ready to launch with the iPhone 6, as Moca.co tells MacRumors the design has been confirmed and mass production is already underway,” Eric Slivka reports for MacRumors. “According to the report, the new adapter supports up to 2A of current, twice that of the current adapter shipping with the iPhone. The new adapter will reportedly be able to power all iPhone, iPod, and iPad mini models, with the redesign likely driven by the higher power requirements of the larger iPhone 6 models.”
