For several years now, theEuropean Commissionis in conflict with Apple. Indeed, to make a long story short, the Apple firm had agreed to keep up with the competition by offering a microUSB port, before retracting and releasing Lightning technology.Which did not please the legislators at all.
Since then, theUSB-Cwas implemented as a global standard, but here too Cupertino has not kept up with the times for its smartphones. Moreover, numerous rumors assure that future iPhones could simply…Do without wired charging. But then, where is this debate which seems endless and where neither side seems to want to give in?
MPs are still discussing it
While there was no news on the matter, a note has just been published on the official website of the European Parliament specifying that new discussions aimed at setting up auniversal alternativeto charge mobile devices took place yesterday. We do not yet know the conclusions, but there is no doubt that they will not be long in coming.
This is far from being the first time that our continental authorities have attacked the apple brand. Not long ago, in factsonpositioninganti-competitive which was singled outwith a fine of several million dollars.
At the moment, there is no indication whether the next products sold byApplewill agree or not to comply with Europe's demands. However, given that the MacBook Pro and the iPad Pro have for example followed suit and that not doing so with the iPhone would still risk costing Tim Cook's company a lot of money, we can assume that new smartphones with port USB-C is coming soon to the Californian.
