iPhones will feature USB-C charging to comply with EU regulations!

Apple has been facing problems with the USB-C port for a while. Now there has been some progress in this regard. Apple's iPhones still require a lightning connector, despite the fact that iPad models with USB-C ports are already available. Now, Apple's SVP of worldwide marketing, Greg Joswiak, has confirmed that the tech giant will switch to USB-C connectors to comply with EU regulations in an interview at the Tech Live event hosted by the Wall Street Journal.

Joswiak also talked about the EU's efforts to get micro-USB used 10 years ago. Apple made cables detachable so that people could easily swap them out because the EU was concerned that people would need multiple adapters with different connectors. Over a billion people were able, according to the executive, to continue using their lightning cables rather than discarding them and creating a "bunch of e-waste," according to the move. Joswiak stated, "We have no choice but to comply with local laws, as we do around the world."

But he didn't say if Apple is just making a different model for the European market while still selling phones with lightning connectors in other places. He also said that "not having a government be that prescriptive" would have been better for Apple's customers and the environment.
In the past, Apple also said that it didn't want to hurt the environment by not selling power adapters with new devices. The tech giant claimed that by doing so, more iPhones could fit into shipping containers, which would result in fuel savings and a reduction of 861,000 tons of metal. However, the company's explanation did not convince everyone, and Apple has been penalized multiple times in Brazil for removing adapters from iPhone packages.
