Following the European Union’s legislation to impose USB-C ports for wired charging by fall 2024, Apple confirmed that their phones are no exception from this and that they will follow the regulation in the future.
Apple’s senior VP of global marketing, Greg Joswiak, replied when questioned by The Wall Street Journal if the company will replace Lightning, saying, “Obviously, we’ll have to comply; we have no option.”
Since the law is imposed by the European Union on Europeans, the Apple official did not elaborate on whether phones sold outside of Europe will undergo the same changes.
Joswiak made it very evident that Apple is not pleased about being compelled by the law to make the change.
He went into great detail about how Apple has always preferred to go its own way and trust its engineers rather than be coerced into embracing hardware standards by legislators before recognizing that the firm must abide by the law.
He listed the instances where Apple was pressured to meet arbitrary criteria as examples, including Micro USB and hearing aid compliance, reported the Verge media.
The EU USB-C legislation includes other electronic devices including tablets, digital cameras, headphones, handheld video game consoles, and e-readers. Laptops will have to comply with the rule at a later date
