Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 15 in just a few days, and it's widely expected to come with a significant change.
The iPhone 15 is heavily rumored to ditch Apple's proprietary Lightning charger in favor of USB-C charging, marking a milestone for the company by adopting universal charging. The change could ultimately streamline the charging process across various devices — and brands.
That's because Apple has previously switched its iPads and MacBooks to USB-C charging. Still, the company has been resistant to making the change on the iPhone. The EU's decision is part of a greater effort to tackle e-waste overall, but it could generate more in the short term as people phase out their Lightning cables.
It also takes a financial cut from the third-party accessories and cables that go through its Made For iPhone program. "Moving to USB Type C would take away this level of control as USB-C is a much more open ecosystem," McQueen said.
