Apple has for years offered a unique lightning connector port on its iPhones. The EU, however, estimates a single charger solution would save about $271 million for consumers, and India has said the move will reduce e-waste and help users.
Right now, phone makers have complete control over the shape of your charging ports. With every new device, they use that control to squeeze as much money out of you as they can. But their charger stranglehold could be coming to an end. The Government of Canada plans to start looking into standardizing charging ports across manufacturers. And not just for phones.
According to Apple, not bundling chargers with iPhones will save 861,000 tonnes of copper, zinc and tin. However, the Brazilian Ministry of Justice told Apple that it can help the environment by allowing USB-C support in its devices.
The new rules will make USB-C connectors used by Android-based devices the standard across the 27-nation bloc, forcing Apple to change its charging port for iPhones and other devices.
To comply with new regulations introducing a single charging port for most electronic devices starting in the fall of 2024, Apple will need to change the charger for its iPhones in the European Union (EU).
