It was widely speculated that the iPhone 15 series would be the first from Apple to feature a USB Type-C port. However, we might not see Type C iPhones till 2024. Here’s why.
Apple may not be compelled to have a USB Type-C port on iPhones till iPhone 17!
If you think that the upcoming iPhone 15 series will finally come equipped with USB Type-C, then you might just have to wait a little bit longer than you had expected. The European Union (EU) has finally made it official that, as of December 28th, 2024, all brand-new phones, including iPhones, will be required to have a USB Type-C port. However, companies are allowed to keep selling previously released products past December 28th, 2024, per the new directive, but they cannot release any new products after that date.
Since many people throw away their chargers and cables after upgrading their phones, this law attempts to cut down on electronic waste.
There have been numerous reports that the iPhone 15 series will be the first from Apple to make a transition from Lightning to USB Type-C. In fact, in an interview in October, Apple’s marketing lead Greg Joswaik had said that Apple would not have a choice when the EU passes a regulation mandating USB Type-C.
