Apple will charge $29 for a USB-C adapter for your new iPhone
Summary
Apple announced its new iPhone 15 lineup Tuesday, and the devices feature a new, widely anticipated USB-C charging port. The company was pushed to shift away from its proprietary Lightning charger cables after the European Union announced electronics makers had to support a standard USB-C charging port for phones, tablets and cameras by 2024. EU officials believe the rule will reduce waste since people will not need to buy a new charger when they purchase a new device. "USB-C has become a universally accepted standard, so were bringing it to iPhone," a presenter said during the Apple launch event Tuesday. The shift to USB-C chargers for the iPhone 15 will mean that Apple users old Lightning cables will no longer work.
