These are some clear signs that Apple is finally, clearly playing catch-up with the competition...
. I hate apples, or sweet food in general, but they're healthy, people say. And like the actual fruit, Apple's products are pretty sweet, smooth, and widely beloved.
You think the iPhone 15 will drop the Lightning port in favor of USB Type-C? You don't know who you're dealing with, bucko…Apple's proprietary Lightning connector has been a huge cash cow for the Cupertino company, ever since its introduction ten years ago. And back then, it made sense – it was a faster, smaller connector than the 30-pin dock connector that preceded it, and USB Type-C wasn't a thing yet. We were still living two years prior to its inception.
Unfortunately for Apple, though, the European Parliament has now approved a bill that enforces tech products sold in the EU to use USB Type-C as a universal standard. A move that's beneficial for not only the consumer, but supposedly for the environment. This new rule should affect all smartphones sold in the EU by the end of 2024, and it comes with a caveat – phone buyers will also"be able to choose whether to purchase a new device with or without a charging device.
This way Apple can not only laugh at everyone who believes the EU will successfully force it to use USB Type-C, but it will continue making money from its own proprietary technology – except now instead of Lightning, it'll be MagSafe.Move over, Lightning, MagSafe is coming to take your job!
