On October 4, 2022, the EU Parliament passed a bill with an overwhelming vote, starting from the end of 2024, requiring all new portable smart devices such as mobile phones, tablets, etc. to use the charging interface of USB Type-C.
In fact, before this bill was passed, big brands had basically used USB Type-C charging interface. The only big brand did not choose USB Type-C charging interface, that is Apple . The proposal to generalize
Type-C is undoubtedly touching Apple's "cake" in the mobile phone market. When facing this proposal, Apple first expressed its opposition on environmental reasons, claiming that about 1 billion products around Apple use the Lightning interface. If it is forced to change to Type-C, it will cause huge waste and pollution.
In response to Apple's statement, European Commission responded reasonably, saying that this is an attempt to reduce electronic waste and facilitate consumers. This move can reduce electronic waste by 11,000 tons per month per year, and save 250 million euros per year for consumers in Europe.
At a meeting of the EU Parliament, a Malta member suddenly raised a white Type-C charging cable in his hand during the meeting and said: "Today, we use this to replace a bunch of chargers."
Malta MP Alex Saliba's move made consumers who were troubled by the complexity of charging cables choose to be on the same front as EU . Even the votes on Weibo have 90% of Chinese netizens supporting the EU!
and according to netizens' revelations. Cook finally couldn't stand it anymore, saying that it will be replaced with a Type-C interface on the iPhone 15 released in 2023. In addition, there are Type-C interfaces such as AirPods, keyboard, mouse, etc. Apple products, etc., and then the charging interface of electronic devices will be completely unified.
Facing the now mainstream Type-C interface, my country's mobile phone brands have been using it for a long time. Taking the domestic mobile phone Xiaomi as an example, it not only has long used the Type-C interface as the main charging interface, but the upcoming Redmi Note 12 series has also added 210W fast charging and ultra-high image configuration.
Xiaomi showed off 200W wired fast charging in May 2021, and the 4000mAh battery will be fully charged in just 8 minutes. This time, the 210W fast charging of the Redmi Note 12 series is likely to make the charging time exceed 10 minutes, which is definitely something that Apple's Lightning interface cannot achieve.
In addition, the Redmi Note 12 series also adds super strong image configuration. Mr. Lu’s preheating on Weibo learned that this time, the Redmi Note 12 series will use the 1/1.56" inch wide-soled IMX766 as the main camera, and the "OIS optical anti-shake" will also be fully popularized.
plus Xiaomi’s self-developed “Xiaomi Image Brain” can accelerate engines, computing units, ecological engines and intention recognition, bringing better image experience and more advanced tuning to the Redmi Note 12 series.
Compared with Apple, which refuses to use the Type-C interface uniformly, domestic mobile phones have already replaced the Type-C interface a few years ago. Apple refuses to use the Type-C interface under the pretext of "environmental pollution", and its essence is just to protect its own interests! What do you think about this?
