Why the EU should stop complaining about the iPhone 15 before it even launches
Apple's new iPhone 15 models will feature USB-C charging ports instead of Lightning, a feature many iPhone users have been dying to get. Apple is transitioning to USB-C because it'll be forced to do it in the European Union (EU) starting in late 2024. However, Apple will not necessarily admit that it's moving to USB-C because of regulators' pressure. Then again, Apple has already defended its proprietary Lightning port as the EU passed legislation to make USB-C the standard charger port for electronic devices, including iPhones.
Strangely enough, the EU is already complaining about the iPhone 15's USB-C port, even though the device doesn't even exist. The EU has reacted to rumors detailing Apple's purported plans to treat Made for iPhone (MFi) chargers differently from non-MFi. And I think the EU is blowing things out of proportion in what might be a case of things being lost in translation.
