News & Reviews:   lightning port

We've already known how European Commission "loathes" the idea of Apple still relying on the Lightning cable to charge its devices. The tech giant has been told to ditch the Lightning cable and standardize its charging method by switching to USB-C, but it never happened. However, Apple might be forced to do it this time as the European Commission could present new legislation next month for the matter.

Can you imagine the time we used to have 30 types of charging ports back in 2019? If they haven’t been reduced to only three types now which are USB Type-C, micro-USB, and Apple’s lightning port, our living room would be filled with God knows how many cables. For years, the European Commission has been pushing for a single charging method for mobile devices, even for Apple’s devices as well. Now, the commission is planning to propose a new law to unify the charging method in the countries.
