EU does not require iPhone to replace Type-C interface

Recently, according to foreign media reports, the European Union has once again discussed unifying the standard charging ports for all smartphones and tablets, such as USB Type-C, saying that some members are studying legislation and other means to force this matter, but it is still possible to take a voluntary approach. Implementation.

If this thing comes true, the impact on the iPhone will be huge. It must be replaced from the Lighting interface to the Type-C interface. Considering that the iPhone is worth hundreds of millions, it is undoubtedly a big project.

However, some foreign media pointed out that the EU did not actually require the iPhone to replace the Type-C interface.

First of all, different from previous years, this EU discussion is not about mobile phone data cables or interfaces, but is aimed at wall chargers. The European Commission ’s vice chairman has said that there have been more than 30 types of EU chargers, but preparations have started since 2009. Since the unified charger, this number has been reduced to three types, but even so, the used chargers each year can bring 51,000 tons of electronic waste.

Apple’s charger already meets EU standards, so no adjustments are needed, and the EU meeting did not mention Apple’s name at all.

But I can also understand the complaints of some users about the Lingting interface. Nowadays, Android models and notebook products have been basically replaced with Type-C interfaces. One line is enough to solve the charging problem, but if you bring an iPhone, you need to bring one more. Lingting wire is very troublesome, and the quality of Apple’s official wire is also notoriously not durable.
