If you are an iPhone fan, you have to hear new news -this is that the EU is preparing to mandate the standard charger for new devices -That is, the future iPhone from 2024 must use USB -C.This is a big news-Apple using his lightning port to charge the iPhone for years now, although almost all Android mobile makers stepped on USB-C standards (and Apple itself uses USB-C for iPad).
Although the EU only regulates Europe, this mandate is likely to force Apple to change its future iPhone worldwide – it will not be practical for brands to sell the same devices as different ports in various countries.So expect the iPhone 16 in 2024 to package a USB-C port, unless Apple decided to introduce it earlier with iPhone 15 or even this 14-year-old iPhone (although the last is not possible, considering that Apple doesn’t have much time to prepare).
It is not the end of the world – USB -C is faster for charging and data transfer, so the mainstay of the future iPhone will only be better for change.But that is not enough for the wider Apple cellphone world.You may be surprised to know that not every iPhone that is sold every year is in the numbered series, and the non-flagship model is a surprising number of sales. Not only often there is an affordable iPhone SE model (which we will most likely see a new edition in 2024), but there is a large market for older iPhones too.

Apple often sells this old model that is decided to be stored, generally less than the price of launch. At present, although the iPhone 13 device is the latest, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 11 standard are both available from the company itself.
And if you shop, you can find an older version available from third-party-Walmart retailers who have a habit of selling five-year-old iPhone during the sales season, and Amazon usually has a stock of iPhone with many generations.Don’t forget the entire updated telephone industry, which is there to repair and resell used devices such as the iPhone-Apple sell this device itself sometimes, like many other companies.
Each of these options is very good for people who cannot afford the latest iPhone, and want an older or less strong version at a low price.If, from 2024, Apple can no longer sell iPhone with a lightning port, it will not only affect the iPhone 16. No, the company will not be able to sell any device without USB -C – which includes a longer model, a device and model which is updated too.
Any cellphone that is right -really already on the shelf -the shop will be fine, but Apple cannot make a new stock for sale -that means, unless the company decides to hoard the previous lightning iPhone, this longer model cannot be sold In the EU.
Apple can decide to send all these lightning iPhone to England or the US, two countries that are not regulated by the EU (and who previously stated that he had no plans to imitate the EU rules). It will work for an older iPhone, especially considering that Apple has stopped selling the charger in the box, which means there will be no problems of the European Union plugs that appear up to British customers.
