May have to say goodbye to Apple Lightning connector cable
Apple might be forced to abandon his lightning-connector cable, if the European legislators have their way.
The cable is used to charge and sync of Apple devices, like the iPhone.
But the members of the European Parliament , the European Commission called on Monday to force tech to say goodbye to giant, a single, universal charging method.
Two other charging cable - USB-C and a micro-USB on Android devices and Apple's lightning to the year 2018, the iPad Pro has already stopped.
the European regulators ' vote on The Matter at a yet-to-be determined date, but Apple says that the proposed regulation would stifle innovation and disruptive to the consumer.
How likely this is to happen?If the regulator forces it to be sold by your proposed scheme, Apple devices in Europe, it would be necessary a new method of charging.
Apple would then take USB you-is probably C, in consideration of The Company 's 2018 iPad Pro ditched Lightning for the benefit of the technology.
a Different possibility would be to remove the load connections and cable completely and instead use the wireless charging.
A new cable is the third in 13 years, would mark the tech giant.
The majority of the newly produced Android phones that already with USB-C ports.
Why want to change the EU?The European Commission has charge of a campaign for a single method for the last ten years.
There are More Than 30 types of charger were on the market in the year 2009, but the number has reduced since then, on only three.
The regulator is determined to reduce the electronic waste caused by obsolete lines, which it estimates will generate More Than 51,000 tons of waste per year.
"This is tremendously harmful to The Environment ," said the member of the European Parliament Alex Agius Saliba.
"A universal phone charger fit all mobile phones, tablets, e-book readers and other portable devices should. "
Has not happened before?Apple, together with 10 other leading tech giants such as Nokia and Samsung, signed a memorandum of understanding in 2009.
they obliged to provide, micro-USB-compatible charging devices for consumers.
But, Apple took advantage of a loophole that allows manufacturers to continue with their own chargers if they offered an Adapter.
Then, in 2014, the EU passed, the radio equipment Directive, which called for a "renewed efforts to develop a common charger".
Apple has not insisted, to fit his slimmer devices would be able of the then-new USB-C technology, and it claimed that it would cost up to $2 billion (£1. 53bn) to meet the desired standard.
it's not wireless charging Is The Future anyway?Apple and many of its competitors, such as Huawei and Samsung, have already released products that free of charge their devices wirelessly.
Although the technology is in its infancy, new developments have meant that it is now able to compete with conventional charging.
Some analysts are even predicting that the release of future iPhone and iPad models, the charging only wireless.
