Confirmation was expected during Apple’s Keynote. During its annual presentation, the Apple firm presented its brand new iPhone 15 on Tuesday September 12 with a notable development: the USB-C charging port. This charging method will equip all its future devices.
This universal charger is now imposed by Europe on all smartphones, tablets and devices put into circulation. The measure was announced in June 2022. Apple is therefore complying, one year before this measure comes into force, by the end of 2024. According to the European Commission, almost a million tonnes of waste could be saved each year, with the widespread adoption of the universal charger.
“USB-C has become the universally accepted standard”, admitted a vice-president of Apple, Kaiann Drance. Apple therefore ended up giving in, after having long opposed this measure carried by Brussels, seeing it as a possible “[nuissance] to consumers”. A single charger will now power all future Mac devices.
