The European Union, in its vote on June 7, decided that Apple products should switch to USB-C instead of Lightning. Immediately after, the United States began to work towards the realization of the same situation. As a result, it was spoken that the iPhone 15 series, which will be introduced next year, will come with a USB-C port. But until today’s information, this situation has changed. So what happened? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
Apple will be able to use USB-C instead of Ligthning for a while

Renewing the iCloud web interface recently, Apple has increased its security measures with Advanced Data Protection technology.
As soon as the first decision on the law was taken, the tech giant did not make an effort to change this situation, although it did not like it. Customers will no longer purchase Lightning cables if iPhones come with a USB-C port. This will cause a decrease in the company’s revenue.
Despite all this, Apple may not adopt the decision to postpone Lightning and switch to USB-C. Because some technology analysts think that Apple will make radical changes with the iPhone 15 series. In addition, the company can make the transition to USB-C without waiting for 2024 in order to get used to the new entry in its models.
On the other hand, it should be noted that USB-C is not registered. All rights are held by USB-IF. Therefore, Apple will not be able to charge any third-party peripherals in the event of the transition to USB-C.
