Apple has been forced to comply with new EU laws aimed at reducing e-waste and simplifying life for consumers.
executive Greg Joswiak announced the company has"no choice" but to follow the EU decree as it does all local laws worldwide.
The European Parliament voted in favour of new rules earlier this month, which require all mobile phones, tablets, cameras and other small devices sold in the EU to be equipped with a USB-C charging port by the end of 2024.Asked about the new rulings at a Wall Street Journal technology conference in California, Mr Joswiak said:"Obviously we'll have to comply, we have no choice."
But he suggested Apple is not entirely pleased with the decision, arguing it will increase e-waste as millions of existingusers, who have Lightning cables as their current connector, will be left with no use for the cable after the switch. He told the conference he thinks"the approach would've been better environmentally and better for our customers to not have a government be that prescriptive".
