Introduction
Unified new regulations, the European Council approved that from 2024, all types of electronic devices sold within the EU range (except for notebooks later) will use the Type-C charging interface uniformly. It is reported that this measure will reduce the generation of 11,000 tons of electronic waste every year, and this decision, Apple may become one of the most affected companies.
Use the Type-C charging interface
Domestic Huawei , Xiaomi , vivo, oppo have unified the charging interface a few years ago, in order to reduce the production of complex electronic devices and contribute to domestic environmental protection. However, foreign companies' products and electronic interfaces still have 58 doors when entering China. Therefore, my country has also issued new regulations. All electronic devices sold in China must use a unified interface. Apple that uses the Lightning interface will be one of the foreign companies that have changed the interface.
Recently, on October 4, the European Parliament also discussed the issue of smart device interfaces at the meeting. The MP proposed new regulations that all new devices should use the charging interface of USB Type-Ch. It is reported that the proposal was passed with 602 votes in favor and 13 votes against it. All electronic devices will be unified in charging interfaces within two years (all interface replacements will be completed in 2024). However, due to the special notebook, the unified interface will be a little later, around 2026.
Apple may become one of the most affected companies
This new regulation may have a great impact on Apple. The interfaces used by all Apple's electronic devices are Lightning interfaces, which requires Apple to revisit the model and completely abandon its own Lightning interface. This will have a great impact on Apple's . On the contrary, if Apple uses USB Type-C interface, it may also encourage consumers to purchase new Apple products with USB Type-C interfaces.
Conclusion
In order to reduce the production of more electronic waste, the unified use of one interface will also facilitate users to use the interfaces interoperably, which will have a certain impact on environmental sanitation. This resolution was passed by the EU's All-Party Bank. In 2024, when Apple released the 15 model, it may have been a USB Type-C interface.
