But let’s talk about the general public. Let’s talk chargers. Let’s talk Lightning vs USB-C. While Apple seemed to follow European rules with the abandonment of the Lightning Pro port, to the great dismay of immoderate “Apple lovers”, in favor of the “universal” USB-C port for its various recently released iPhone 15 models. , the brand seems to be resisting.
Lightning still present on accessories
Apple finally complies with European legislation and abandons its Lightning charger: when will the change arrive for users?
Because against all expectations, Apple has avoided the transition to USB-C for the hardware accompanying the various devices, including the Magic Track Pad, the Apple mouse or keyboard, etc.
If the European Commission seemed to be delighted that its decision to switch to generalized USB-C to reduce the quantity of different chargers and therefore, ultimately, of electronic waste, had found an echo within the Apple brand, the joy will be short-lived.
Did this represent too much loss of revenue for Apple, not being able to offer unique chargers and cables, often at fairly high prices? Is the brand still reluctant to mix with all the others who have adopted USB-C? One might wonder what Apple is playing at. So yes, we don’t recharge our keyboard or mouse as frequently as our smartphone, but it’s still very surprising.
