Apple is such a black sheep in the eyes of the European Union among smartphone manufacturers, because while others use standard USB, Apple has Lightning konewhich. But it may have to change, at least in the European Union. The European Commission claims that various chargers generate up to 51 thousand tons of electronic waste annually.

In 2009, 14 of the world's leading technology companies signed a voluntary memorandum (Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Nokia, etc.), which recognized the need to harmonize the standard for charging adapters. It was supposed to be implemented with models coming to the market in 2011, but some companies did not manage the transition and committed to switch to the USB standard only in 2014. However, the European Commission is understandably still not satisfied and Apple apparently it's in her stomach.
This konewhich may soon be a thing of the past:

Margrethe Vestager, the European Commissioner for Competition, said that, given the unsatisfactory progress made towards a single standard, the Commission would launch a study to identify and assess the costs and benefits of other options to address the situation. The most likely solution at this point seems to be an obligation. Appto switch to USB in the future. The Commissioner is definitely not just talking nonsense and will try to solve the "problem". In the past, herancelary granted fined by Google several times. Apple but will try to maintain his Lightning as long as possible. The main reason is the licensing fees of any third-party accessories using Lightning konewhich, from which Apple gets up to $4.
And what does the cable have to do with the charger? And how much waste they produce europostanci ?
If every phone comes with a charger, it probably doesn't matter which phone you use to charge it.oneWhich. This would make sense if there were no chargers for phones and everyone would have to buy one charger "at the beginning" that they would use for x years for all the phones they buy.
Why don't they stop C? Lightning was before... and I think it will last longer tooonewhich – in the phone the cable bends … but in the C the inside also gets fucked
but even now I don't have any except appeveryone is the same.. not even laptops are the same.. that's another way to make yourself visible
It's so nonsensical it could be true 🤔😀
The European Union should mainly investigate itself. To psychiatry and also to save some logic test.
new
But yes, I totally agree that everything has USB, so it will be quiet, they have been talking about it for many years and still nothing
USB-C toonewhich should have been with everyone a long time ago Apple He'll be a big loser if he doesn't put him in new shoes. iPhone this year. Unless they shouldonewhich ones at all and they charged wirelessly. I don't understand the comments here. I have everything from Apple but what is being said here is nonsense about Lightningthere is really a lot. Same toonewhich is essential both because of the price (to Apple clients were not forced to pay exorbitant amounts for cables, etc.) and especially so that a person could charge his mobile phone with any charger. Ecological reasons are also important. For example, every new device should not have a charger because it is likely that the user already has one (the user Apple area). Wake up now!!!
koneI found a meaningful and reasonable comment in the flood of gibberish. I completely agree that USB-C is absolutely essential, not just for phones. As for apple so you will definitely come up with a reason why and why you should stick to a higher price than the others and at least we will practically all have the same chargers. Everyone has already experienced a situation 100 times when the flashlight was beaten and there was no other apple seller nearby...
What kind of nonsense is this? There has to be a charger and lightning is structurally better than C.
For example, from my point of view,oneKTOR Lightningin terms of design, much better than USB C, how many times has it beenonewhich dents and the charger or miniThe cable is almost going to scrap, that's it lightning It's true that the cable is thinner and it cracks, but even that can be solved, for example, I have one cable at home and the other at work and the cables have lasted me for over a year, which wasn't the case when I tested the Note 8, I bought the cable every other week. For this reason, I think lightning more environmentally friendly than USB-C
It was already here with the arrival LightningUntil he sinks it himself Apple (which could be already in September), so the EU won't do it either 😃
It would all make sense if they banned the packaging of chargers with phones. Otherwise, it doesn't matter what kind of charger someone has.onewho, because he gets a charger anyway = electronic waste.
The EU is starting to screw up everything and environmentalists should go investigate.
Did you get yourself checked out? I don't want to live in a dump. do you?
Get over it, you spoiled brat
So stop hanging out with your friends from Antifa and start doing something..
The only question is why...?
I understand the step Apple- it is quite logical, I have income on the side from each accessory, which is good, however, from my point of view as a user, it is quite limiting, e.g. visiting, expensive accessories, etc... however, we live in the 21st century and the government or any other body should not dictate to the company what it can and cannot produce…. it is one step away from dictatorship. Of course the sun-drinkers will jump up on what is good and what is not good for the planet, but why are there taxes? - the government should either cancel those taxes or come up with a way to dispose of waste at its own expense in symbiosis with the planet. and
This sounds similar to Professor Klaus' lesson that the economy can manage itself and that the state should not interfere. I myself was for as little state intervention as possible, but that is no longer possible in the global economy, and with a large number of companies dictating the conditions on the market. Otherwise, companies do not take into account anyone and anything. AND Apple in many examples he behaves arrogantly and ignores the needs of his customers. Someone will argue that I don't have to buy Apple but if you have an entire ecosystem, you simply don't change it all at once. And if you change it, what do you really have left? Windows with android? That's what I call a choice 😀😀😀
When I see how bad USB-C isonewhich, so that they introduce a wireless charger into the standard equipment. Only the absence of MagSafe konewhich on laptops discourages me from upgrading.
Yes, it is clear that the EU really is always thinking backwards. I understand that in the days when mobile phones were even ten koneof different types and voltages, so more power supplies had to be produced, but at a time when almost every power supply for mobile phones and tablets has a USB-A socket and there are charging standards and protocols at the physical charging level, so what's the problem with just swapping the cable? :D
On the contrary, they should step on the laptop to theonewhich, because the situation there is still almost the same as 10 years ago with mobile phones and just because of different voltages I have at least 4 different power supplies + a ton of terminals and not to mention all sorts of whores, e.g. with a Dell laptop, where the power supply has to communicate actively with the laptop, otherwise it won't allow the battery to be charged, even though the power supply is healthy, but just doesn't communicate, at least Lenovo has it reasonably and simply, that it "sniffs" through a resistor connected in parallel to the negative pole of the power supply, how much resistance there is and sets the current limit (s) via a dial
On the other hand, I have about 10 unused power supplies with a USB-A socket lying around in a drawer at home, and I think that since a power supply (USB) is automatically packaged with almost everything, why not simply package it, deduct the price of the power source from the price of the product, and who needs , let him buy the resource :)
Lightning it's the best thing that's happened to the iPhone, I think Apple he knows it and until he cuts toonewhich is completely, so I hope it will hold up. It's a shame that the original cables are such shit, the EU should look into that 🤷♂️
Give yourself a break
All hail the lord and savior, USB-C 🙌🏻
I'm totally in awe of what this has to do with me.onewhich, mainly, that I charge it and transfer data, as it should.
Apple invented USB C himself. So he should support it. The truth is that USB C in MACBOOK Pro It's a shunt. I can confirm this because I have one.
I can't imagine usb-c on iphone... at macbookov with usb-c, after half a year of use it happens that the cable falls out, it has a lot of slack... Lightning since it has small latches on the sides, it can easily hold the whole mobile, with usb-c, just tap a little and it will fall out...
i agree.. usb is used everywhere
Of course I agree. USB-C let them everywhere. Individuals will understand the benefits when it will be possible to charge NTB, cell phone, camera, camera and other x devices with one cable + there will be no need to pay meaningless amounts for accessories with lightningom… Only a very, very very narrow-minded person can object to something like that…
They are demented!
