Apple Raises Concerns Over India's USB-C Charger Regulations

Apple has warned India that its local production targets will be impacted if the country implements a European Union (EU) rule requiring smartphones to have a universal USB-C charging port. While other manufacturers have agreed to India's plan, Apple is pushing back, stating that it will struggle to meet production targets set under India's production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme if existing iPhone models are not exempted from the rules. Apple argues that the design of earlier products cannot be changed, and a natural transition period should be given. India wants to implement the EU charging port rule by June 2025, six months after the EU deadline.

Apple's iPhone 15: The EU's Charger War Victory with USB-C

Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone 15, which will feature a USB-C charging port instead of its proprietary Lightning solution. This change comes as a result of European Union rules that will require smartphones to have a USB-C port by the end of 2024. The switch marks the end of a long-standing battle between the EU and Apple over charging standards and demonstrates the EU's ability to influence even the world's most valuable tech company. The EU's common charger rules have the potential to set a global standard, but there are concerns about the impact on the market for refurbished devices and the need for a standard for wireless charging.

This move aligns with Apple's gradual transition to USB-C across its product range, including MacBooks, iPads, and Apple TV.

Apple's Switch to USB-C: The Impact on iPhone Users

Apple is expected to replace the Lightning port with USB-C in its upcoming iPhone 15 line, thanks to a law adopted by the European Union requiring universal USB-C phone chargers by 2024. This move will bring benefits such as faster charging and data transfer speeds, as well as compatibility with existing USB-C accessories. However, it remains to be seen how Apple will integrate its "Made for iPhone" certification program and whether it will limit certain features to accessories within its ecosystem. Additionally, the transition to USB-C may help pave the way for a portless iPhone and further promote the use of MagSafe wireless charging.

EU Warns Apple Against Limiting USB-C Functionality and Charging Speeds on iPhones

The European Union has warned Apple not to encrypt the USB Type-C interface on its upcoming iPhone 15 series, as it would restrict third-party data cables and violate EU laws. The EU has passed a law requiring all new mobile phones, tablets, and laptops sold within its borders to have a common charging port by 2024 and 2026, respectively, to reduce electronic waste and make life easier for users. The law will require Apple to switch to the USB-C connector, which could result in additional costs for the company.
