- Apple has transferred iPhones to USB-C due to the law of the European Union on unification of charging ports of electronic devices. The law was adopted by the European Parliament in October 2022. According to the law, all mobile phones, tablets, cameras and other devices loaded through the wired cable will have to go to USB-C by the end of 2024. Since the spring of 2026, the rule will be extended to laptops. According to the EU authorities, this will reduce the amount of electronic waste, since with the purchase of a new device there will be no need to purchase new charging.
