Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 15 range on Tuesday evening
The next iPhone is likely to feature one of its most notable design changes in years, according to an industry expert, as its charging port switches to fall in line with impending EU law. during an event at the tech giant’s California headquarters.
USB-C is already widely used by most other smartphone and electronics manufacturers, and Apple uses it for its laptops and its more recent iPad models. The move to make the connection the universal choice on small electronics is part of European Union regulatory efforts to cut e-waste and by reducing the number of different cables consumers need for different devices.
Industry expert Ben Wood, chief analyst at CCS Insight, said that while it was a “major change” to switch the charging port and “arguably the biggest disruption to iPhone design for several years”, its presence within the Apple ecosystem already meant it was “hardly a dramatic move”. “Given how widely USB-C has been used in other devices, it’s hard to imagine that customers will be totally caught out by this switch, and in the long-term, it’s likely to benefit them, with a universal charging system having some very obvious upsides. The rationale behind regulation forcing the use of USB-C is largely environmental, as one charging standard should result in fewer cables needing to be bought, helping to reduce material usage.
