Previously, EU and Apple have been arguing about the use of Type-C for mobile phone charging interfaces. Apple believes that this will damage Apple's interests. At the same time, the EU insists on implementing it, but because it is still in the discussion stage, there is no substantial progress.

According to the blogger @Vista's report, it can be seen that Apple opposes the Type-C interface on the grounds of stifling innovation, and no longer provides chargers for environmental protection reasons. It was opposed by some consumers. He was once sentenced to pay 7,000 yuan in compensation to each user for not attaching a charger.

Today, according to multiple reports, the EU reached a temporary agreement on unified chargers. The proposed legislation will force all future smartphones, including Apple iPhone, to use the universal Type-C interface to charge.

It is understood that in a press conference later after the news, the European Parliament Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee announced this agreement on social media. Mobile phones, tablets, e-reader , digital cameras and more devices adopt Type-C interfaces and unify the fast charging technology. It also needs to separate the sales of chargers and equipment sales.

In addition to this, in a statement, Type-C will become the universal charging interface for all phones, tablets and cameras in the EU by autumn 2024.

According to media analysis, the protocol has the greatest impact on Apple because Apple is the only large smartphone manufacturer that is still using proprietary interfaces instead of Type-C interfaces. In 2021, Apple sold 241 million iPhones worldwide, of which about 56 million were sold in the European market.

In May this year, some analysts said that Apple would consider transferring the iPhone 15 series from the Lightning port to the Type-C interface in 2023, but the specific time is not known.

By querying the e-commerce platform, we can see that as a mobile phone company with higher sales in the world, the Lightning interface wire sold on its official website will be more expensive than other interface wires, and third-party accessories will also require a certain amount of money to authorize third-party authorized wires, resulting in relatively high prices.

If this agreement is implemented, it will have a significant impact on the sales of its accessories. Interested users need to keep their attention for specific agreement implementation and subsequent development.
