We can say that the USB-C port lies behind Apple’s becoming the focus of criticism due to the fact that it does not give up its current charging port. The charging port, which is frequently used in today’s smartphones, meets the needs of users in charging and efficiency transfer speeds.
The European Union (EU) has recently started the countdown to implement a common charging port project for many products, including smartphones, tablets and headphones, in order to prevent technological waste. In this context, Apple will have to give up the lightning charging port used in iPhones in its products and adapt to the common charging standard.
However, according to the latest information, Apple has completely removed the charging port from iPhone models, contrary to the common charging standard expected to be USB-C. It is preparing to make it a standard by further developing the wireless charging technology it currently uses.
Allegedly, Apple CEO Tim Cook will try to produce iPhone models without a charging port in the future, due to the high cost of the USB-C port, the existing charging ports taking up too much space, and the company’s reaching a certain level in wireless charging. will begin.
