Apple’s next iPhone will be using USB-C following EU mandate

Oct 27 2022

It has just been confirmed by Apple leadership that, for the very first time, the next generation of iPhones will use USB-C.

This will be done to comply with the latest EU mandates which require that all phones across the bloc utilise the charger type and minimise electronic waste.

Apple’s senior of worldwide marketing Greg Joswiak said that ‘obviously, we’ll have to comply. We have no choice.’ This is because the new law currently dictates that all mobile phones and tablets have to use the USB-C come the fall of 2023.

The oval shaped plugs are already standard on other consumer electronics such as e-readers, games consoles, laptops and the vast majority of new Android phones.

Despite resisting the initial move to streamline the chargers for all devices, Apple is now conceding defeat. The EU mandate was pushed for by Maltese MEP Alex Agius Saliba. The move will save approximately 11,000 to 13,000 waste per year after the EU parliament approved the law.
