Days of Lightning Connector on iPhones are Numbered

October 5, 2022

The European Parliament took another step to require the usage of USB-C by the end of 2024 for camera, tablets and phones according to a post on The Register. The date for laptops is the beginning of 2026. The vote was 602 votes in favor, 13 against and 8 abstaining. The move by the EU will have very little impact for the majority or electronics manufacturers as they already utilize the USB-C standard. Apple is the exception. Apple’s iPhone has long been clinging to the proprietary Lightning connector. It appears as if those days are numbered.
