Goodbye to Lightning on iPhones
It's been some time since something was rumored that, finally, is going to come true. We are talking about the obligation on the part of the European Union that, in its territory, all electronic devices sold have the same type of charging port. In this case it is the standard USB-C
Just yesterday this was approved by a vote in the European Parliament. And, to give manufacturers room, the established deadline for this is the year 2024. More specifically, it has been established that said date will be autumn of said year.
Given this, Apple could choose to eliminate ports and make charging completely wireless
And this, how could it be otherwise, directly affects Apple This is because, although many manufacturers have the charging port USB-C on many of their devices, Apple continues to include the Lightning as a charging port on their iPhone
There were many rumors that predicted that Apple would include the USB-C as a charging port starting with iPhone 13. But, once launched, we could see how the Lightning charging port was maintained in all models of iPhone.
Will Apple go wireless charging?
But, as we say, by legal imposition, electronic devices that are launched and offered for sale in the territory of the European Union must have a charging portUSB-C, causing the Lightning to completely disappear from the iPhone
Given this, we understand that Apple has two options. The first of these, of course, is to include the USB-C on your devices. But you also have another option which is to completely remove the ports from iPhone and devices that still include Lightning and go wireless charging altogether.
This wouldn't be farfetched. And it is that, for some time, it has been taking steps in this direction by implementing the MagSafe in the iPhone and selling them without the wall charger . It will certainly be interesting to see which option Apple. chooses
