The company had faced mounting pressure since 2020 from the European Union to make the change to USB- C charging ports, but it pushed back.
In 2022, the EU agreed on legislation that would demand all smartphones vended there to have universal charging ports by fall 2024. India passed a analogous accreditation in December of the same year. The countries settled on the USB- C, which Apple formerly uses to charge its rearmost Macbook and iPad models.
Now, it appears Apple is set to make the change to USB- C to its iPhone charging world wide.
The charging change also extends to the rearmost model of AirPods, according to Bloomberg. The new AirPods Pro will reportedly also feature the USB- C charging port rather of a Lightning port.
Although you will not be suitable to adopt a charger from proprietors of aged iPhones, there are numerousnon-Apple bias that also use USB- C cords for power.
