What is truly environmental protection?
According to Apple , canceling the charging head and reducing mobile phone packaging is environmentally friendly. Of course, the most important thing is that the charging interface is Lightning interface.
In Apple's view, switching to USB-C will actually have an adverse impact on the overall environment, because it will cause hundreds of millions of Lightning accessories to be eliminated.
In order to prevent the old accessories from being eliminated, Apple rejected the Type-C interface on iPhone. No one can convince him if he says this.
If you want to talk about the number of accessories, the industry-standard Type-C data cable is no more than the Lightning data cable?
MFi certified Lightning data cable has increased Apple's revenue by tens of billions of yuan every year. This is the main reason why Apple uses the Lightning interface on iPhone.
are all wise, but in fact they are all business.
You say business is business, and it is not embarrassing to make money, but while making money, you also have to shout that you are for "environmental protection". You are still behaved when you get a cheaper one, which is a bit unreasonable.
No matter how many reasons Apple has, the torrent of the times cannot be stopped by Apple.
Not long ago, EU had passed a charger bill, stipulating that by 2024, all electronic devices must support the Type-C interface.
Apple has also confirmed that it will comply with this regulation. A USB-C interface will appear on the top iPhone 15 Ultra next year.
This will be a new beginning for the iPhone.
is equipped with an iPhone with USB-C interface. Environmental protection is one aspect, and more importantly, a Type-C data cable can be versatile. It is much more convenient for consumers, and you don’t have to buy a Lightning data cable that costs 145 yuan on Apple’s official website. On
iPhone 12, Apple canceled the charger for environmental reasons and was criticized. One of the important reasons why is that the interface is still a Lightning interface.
For the iPhone 12 at that time, it was very troublesome to charge.
Do you use an Android charger?
that won't work, because the Lightning data cable provided by iPhone 12 is equipped with the other end of the C port, while most Android chargers have interfaces of A port.
Which uses old iPhone charger and data cable? When you look at 5V1A, no one can stand it.
As for iPhone 11 Pro, the charger has a C port, and it can also be used with the data cable provided by iPhone 12, and there is also fast charging. However, how many people who had iPhone 11 Pro at that time would change it to iPhone 12?
So, for fast charging, you can only spend extra money to repurchase the USB-C charger. The electricity is charged, but the additional packaging of the charger is not very environmentally friendly.
If the iPhone is replaced with the C port, all this problem will be solved. Even Apple does not need to include a data cable. It can be charged directly using the Android charger and data cable, and it is fast charging.
For Apple, it was criticized for its cancellation of the additional charger because of its "environmental protection". Apple should not feel wronged. Faced with such a result, Apple should also predict it.
However, this does not deny Apple's environmental protection concept. On the contrary, Bi Tanjun never denies Apple's environmental protection concept.
Apple is one of the few technology companies that use 100% renewable energy in data centers, and is "full blossoming" on issues such as global environmental protection, policy and social development.
Apple also promises that by 2030, every device sold by Apple will not have any impact on the global climate.
It is impossible for Apple to have no environmental protection concept.
However, when it comes to specific products, it is still going backwards with the Lightning interface. This is just simply pursuing commercial interests rather than environmental protection.
The best environmental protection is the unity of standards.
iPhone 15 Ultra, equipped with a USB-C interface, is a new milestone for Apple. The era of USB-C unifying the mobile phone circle will come completely.
