"Apple's iPhone 15 Ditches Lightning for USB-C Charger"
Apple's upcoming iPhone 15 will feature a USB-C charging port instead of the Lightning cord, marking the first change to the iPhone's charging port in over a decade. The move comes as a response to pressure from the European Union (EU), which has been advocating for universal charging ports. The EU legislation requires all smartphones sold in the region to have USB-C ports by fall 2024. The change will also apply to the new AirPods Pro, which will feature a USB-C charging port. While this means older iPhone users won't be able to borrow chargers, USB-C cords are widely used by non-Apple devices.
