iPhone leaks claim that the new iPhone 12 will come with a braided lightning cable
According to iPhone leaks, Apple might launch iPhone 12 in September 2020. Leaks also claim that iPhone 12 might come with a braided lightning cable.
Users seem unable to wait for the release of the new iPhone 12. According to some Apple leaks, the brand might launch the new iPhone 12 in September 2020. Further, the release date might be pushed back due to the Coronavirus pandemic. According to some iPhone 12 leaks, the manufacturing process of iPhone 12 might commence by the end of this month.
However, an earlier report claimed that the production process of the new iPhone 12 would start by early June. While several iPhone leaks have been shared by users on various social media platforms, a new leak claims that the new iPhone 12 might come with a braided lightning cable.
According to the user, the in-box USB-C to Lightning cable will be braided. The images shared by the user feature standard Apple terminations on the ends. However, iPhone 12 might have a braided sheathing instead of a plastic-coated cable. Several users liked and commented on the post. While the post received 1.3k likes and 41 comments, it received 303 retweets. You can check out the post here:

According to some other iPhone leaks, the braided lightning cable might also have 8 silver contacts. These contacts will be made by using a rhodium-plated ruthenium process which is hard-wearing against corrosion. The lightning braids might contain grey and white filaments mixed in a 2+2 interlaced manner, hence making it wear-resistant.
According to iPhone leaks, the cable might measure 1.05 meters (3 feet 5.3 inches) end to end. The diameter of the wire might be 3.04 millimetres.
Users still do not have much clarity about the cable since braided cables are quite easily available. Although users are yet to find out whether Apple will include a braided lightning cable in its box, they are sure that the new iPhone 12 will come with an upgraded and more resilient cable. Here are some other iPhone 12 leaks that have been shared by users on various social media platforms:
