 |  Apple told to pull its finger out on USB-C It has until December 2024 Apple has been told that it has until December 2024 to get rid of its Lightning sockets or face the music. For those who came in late the EU has decided that it is better for its citizens not to have to mess around with multiple cables to satisfy the whims of a US phone maker and has selected the USB-C to rule in the EU from December 28, 2024. Apple is the only company still relying on Lightning because it fits its business model. It is slower than USB-C, and means that fanboys have to buy extra cables from Apple to get their shiny toys to go. The legislation will first affect smartphones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, headsets, earbuds, portable speakers, handheld video game consoles, e-readers, keyboards, mice, and portable navigation systems. In April 2026 it will apply to laptops. https://fudzilla.com/news/55973-appl...r-out-on-usb-c |
