The rules on USB-C have been published by the European Commission, setting an almost two-year deadline of 28 December 2024 for all portable devices to comply.
In documents published this week, the EU says it was committed to increasing"interoperability" between devices.In practice, that means people should not have to worry about reaching for a knotted mess of various cables at the bottom of a bag or back of a drawer when they want to charge something.
The documents say the move will also"reduce unnecessary waste and costs", something Apple has claimed it has attempted to do in recent years by removing packed-in charging adapters from new iPhones altogether. Apple executive Greg Joswiak has claimed that it"would have been better environmentally and better for our customers to not have a government be that prescriptive".If Apple sticks to its usual annual naming pattern, USB-C will be on the iPhone 16 at the very latest.But reports suggest the switch could come sooner, possibly in time for the presumed iPhone 15 next year.Related Topics
