Apple will soon start shipping iPhones with USB Type-C charging port
Apple itself has confirmed that they will soon start shipping their iPhones with a USB Type-C charging port. As of now, Apple ships its iPhone models with a Lightning port, which makes its devices in-compatible with the USB Type-C charger that is being used by most smartphone companies these days. Now, the company has confirmed that it will soon replace the Lightning port on its iPhones with a USB-C port.
This was confirmed by Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s annual Tech Live conference. Responding to a question whether Apple will comply with the new law passed by the European Union, which makes it mandatory for all companies to ship their devices with USB Type-C chargers by 2024, the executive said that Apple will follow the new laws. will follow. However, he declined to comment on when Apple would make the switch. “Obviously, we have to follow through,” an Apple executive said at the event.
Speaking at the conference, Joswiak also said that Apple and the European Union had been at odds with each other for a long time, explaining how European officials once wanted the company to adopt a micro-USB charging port. He also said that neither the Lightning port nor the USB Type-C port would have been invented if the demands made by the European authorities at that time had been complied with.
Type-C will be available for the first time in this iPhone model
It’s worth noting that while Apple executives haven’t confirmed exactly when Apple will switch to using the USB Type-C port in its iPhone models, reports point to a switch as soon as possible. . According to details shared by Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter earlier this month, the iPhone 15 that will be launched in late 2023 will be the first iPhone model to ship with a USB Type-C port.
Apple has already started shipping its Macs, several iPad models, and accessories with USB Type-C ports. The company is expected to include universal charging port, entry-level iPad and AirPods charging cases in the iPhone 15 from 2023. PLC/GT
