The European Union has formally proposed a few days ago that it will force the unification of the charging port specifications of mobile phones to USB-C. The first thing to do is to maintain the Lightning iPhone. Apple has publicly responded to this, believing that the EU’s move will hinder innovation. In the latest statement, the European Union also responded to this, thinking that it would not rule out any better specifications.
In recent years, the European Union has continued to promote uniform specifications, so that users can power all products with the same charging cable. In addition, it can also reduce unnecessary electronic waste. Officials claim that the annual reduction is about 1 million tons. The new law has now entered the stage of filing a case and is expected to be completed in 2022. The brand has two years of preparation time. Therefore, it is estimated that the target will be reached in 2024 at the earliest.
In the official statement, with regard to Apple’s claim that switching to USB-C would hinder innovation, Anna Cavazzini, Chairman of the Consumer Protection Committee of the European Parliament, held a negative attitude. If there is a new standard that is better than USB-C, the rules can be adjusted.
Tianfeng Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo once predicted that Apple does not plan to keep Lightning forever, but may not plan to switch to USB-C. In the future, it will be handed over to MagSafe for magnetic charging. It is rumored that it will launch a non-porous iPhone design.
