Apple fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to express their delight at
the rumours that the iPhone 15 will finally be getting a USB-C power
connector.
Apple has used its own Lightning port in its iPhones since 2012.
However, the tech giant is expected to kill this off in favour of the
widely used USB-C connection for its iPhone 15 range, which will be
unveiled tomorrow.
The change comes as the EU has passed a law to force all consumer
technology firms to use USB-C chargers by December next year.
Taking to X, one delighted fan tweeted: 'At least now everything in my
house can use the same charger.'
The USB-C charging port is already commonly used for Android phones, as
well as many other Apple products, including its latest iPad and MacBook models.
The new EU legislation aims to make this charging design the common
standard - and ultimately reduce electronic waste.
Several delighted fans have taken to X to discuss the rumoured change.
'Finally, all your devices can be charged with a single cable,' one user
wrote.
'All new smartphones use the same charger type. To me this is the biggest iPhone 15 change and the main reason of why me and my spouse upgrading from iPhone 11.'
Another added: 'Less cables. I already use USB-C for everything else and
having to have a separate lightening is annoying. If my iPhone cable breaks
I could just use one of my spare USB-C's.'
