      "it will cause more e-waste because people will have to throw away more ables"

      Only because Apple have been so far behind everyone else for years. If Apple made the switch when everyone else did then there would be no waste. You can't complain about a problem YOU caused.

      But don't worry because even when they start using USB C, they will still be using USB 2.0 like the iPhone 14 does, meanwhile I'll sit here with my phone that's using USB 3.0 like the many other android phones that came before it

The 2024 regulation is about the port and not the data transfer speed of it. Most people don't care about 2.0 or 3.0 but to have a separate lightning cable creates a lot of e-waste

                  i wish apple can go port-less and use mag safe chargers because they are already tasted and trusted than USB-c type and for file transfer apple has a wireless chip that can hand transfer files easily and guys let the European union know this we have a lot of important thing to focus on than lighten that does not make sense and we don't complain about it we app users

                      USB-C should have been done long back.. to reduce e-waste.

The entire tech industry deeepply hates this fruit, no wonder . They can't even use this patent because the owners dont want too sell to them. It's not frand patents. Just like snapdragon banned using 5g, lmfaooooo

                            77, 26 Oct 2022The standard hasn't been significantly updated in the ... moreData transfer speed:

                            Phones with Lightning/usb c 2.0 = 0.48 GB/s

                            Phones with C3.1 = 5 Gb/s

                            Phones with C3.2 = 10 GB/s

                            * C 3.2 gen 2 can reach 20Gb/s, but phones are capped at 10 at most.

                                        iNot, 26 Oct 2022I wished the interviewer asked them why the MacBook and iPa... moreProfit. Apple sells much more iPhones than iPads or MacBook's. Thus, much more accessories with lightning connector. And because Apple has license for lightning connector, they take small percentages from third party manufacturers that want to release this kind of accessories.
                                        This is why Apple wants everybody to switch to MagSafe charging. Another license for Apple, another profit for Apple. I am almost certain that the USB-C connector will not sit too much on the iPhones and will be removed completely the minute Apple finds a good time for it.
