Recent reports had stated iPhone 6 may include a reversible Lightning cable that allows you to plug it into USB ports from both the sides. However, it looks like the iPhone 6 will afterall come without the reversible USB.
A third party Apple retailer by the name Moca.co said that the company has not yet placed any order for the reversible USB cable from its manufacturing partner. The retailer claims that the reversible cable will miss the iPhone 6 launch and also will not be available to consumers this year.
We are informed by the Official Appointed Manufacturer of Apple that the new Reversible USB Cable will not be released together with upcoming iPhone 6 and Apple has not placed any order with them yet. Apple fans will not be able to get the MFi version of this revolutionary cable from Apple this year but that is not the end of the story.
said Moca.co on its website.
The manufacturing partner has reportedly sent samples of the cables to Apple, but the company has yet to approve them. Once the approval goes through, it would still take months to get them ready. The new design is only slightly larger than Apple’s current US power adapter, but will supposedly carry a maximum output of 2A, which is twice the output of the current adapter and “may save you up to 30% charging time, said Moca.co.

Moving on, the website further states that unlike the reversible USB, the power adapter will be ready to launch with iPhone 6 as the design has been confirmed and mass production is already underway. Apple iPhone 6 launch event is scheduled on September 9.
