EU delivers a blow to Apple with its USB-C mandate for phones sold in 2024
Summary
Cupertino tech giant Apple might finally have to do away with its long-standing tradition of using a lightning port on iPhones. European Union lawmakers have reached an agreement on a legislation that requires all small and medium-sized electronics devices to be equipped with the universal USB Type-C port for wired charging. The legislation requires all devices sold in the EU, especially smartphones, to use USB-C port by fall 2024. The legislation comes as a blow to Apple, which is the only major smartphone maker to not use USB-C port on its iPhone. The iPhone maker has begun equipping some of its iPad models with USB Type-C port.
