What you should know about Apple’s move to USB-C for the new iPhone

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:15:03 GMT

On Friday, Apple will release the iPhone 15. It comes with a faster processor and a better camera, but for many, those things are not what make this version so exciting.The newest model becomes the first iPhone which charges via USB-C.“Apple has abandoned their proprietary interface known as the ‘lightning connector’ to this USB-C, not because they wanted to, but because they were being forced to by [European Union] regulations,” said Ken Colburn of Data Doctors.EU officials passed a provisional agreement in June 2022 that will require a uniform charging cord in the 27-nation bloc, set to take effect by fall 2024. It’s part of a wider effort to make products sold in the EU more sustainable and cut down on electronic waste.Colburn said the new connector is not new technology — many computers and even newer iPads already use it — but Apple, he believes, held off on switching over for the iPhone because a lot of money is made on selling the proprietary lightning cables, not...
