The vice presidents of Apple have confirmed that iPhones will switch to USB-C charger cables – but they’re clearly not very happy about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, the European Parliament <\/a>announced it will be enforcing the use<\/a> of USB Type-C charging ports for ‘all mobile phones, tablets and cameras in the EU’ in a bid to reduce ‘hassle for consumers,’ as well as ‘curbing e-waste’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means Apple will be forced to make the leap from lightning cables to USB-C by the end of 2024 at the latest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tech company thought it had reached a compromise with power adapters with detachable cables appropriate to each device, and was disappointed to see the lightning cable binned entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite calling the EU ruling ‘well-meaning’, Joswiak complained that billions of people already have lightning charger cables which they’ll no longer be able to use due to the new regulations, leading to environmental waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: “What are you going to do with these cables over time if they’re no longer useful – billions of them.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
