Have you ever been embarrassed at a friend's house for not finding an Android charger? Or worry about not being able to find the Apple charger.
Everyone knows that iPhone's charging interface is an alternative to mobile phones. The charging interface of Android devices is basically Type -C. Only Apple phones use Lightning. Apple has different charging ports than other mobile phone brands, so there are also differences in charging heads.
Therefore, many netizens have criticized Apple: Since they don’t send chargers because of environmental protection, why don’t they use the Type-C interface like Android devices to reduce costs and resources, and carbon emissions? If you buy a mobile phone, you don’t get a charger. Apple can think of it!
However, according to the latest new regulations released by EU , Apple seems to be consistent with Android's charging port!
According to CCTV News, the European Parliament passed the bill on consenting to the charging interface of portable smart devices with 602 votes in favor and 13 votes against on October 4.
will start from the end of 2024, and all new portable smart devices such as mobile phones, tablets, etc. will use the charging interface of USB Type-Ch.
At the same time, the EU also approved the compulsory use of the USB Type-C interface.
In other words, the iPhone 15 series released next year is likely to replace the charging interface with Type-Ch
, but Apple will definitely not replace the charging interface so easily.
After all, it was strongly opposed by Apple as early as the EU planned to implement the new regulations.
However, there was still news on the Internet at this time, and the iPhone device is likely to cancel the charging port directly.
At the same time, an analysis report shows that even if Apple replaces the charging interface to Type-C in accordance with the new EU regulations, it is just a transitional solution, because Apple is likely to cancel the physical charging interface due to this new regulation to achieve wireless charging.
Because, the annual MFI certification fee for the Lightning interface is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, how could Apple be willing to give up this key profit-making project? ? ?
In short, Apple is really stubborn!
