Apple Charging Wires

Apple was known for having lightning cables, which was exclusively for most Apple products. As USB-C wire has become a universally accepted standard wire, European Union law required Apple to have USB-C phone chargers for all future Apple devices by 2024.

With the release of the Iphone 15, customers have expressed their frustrations because of the new charging wire standards. Customers have been accustomed to using the lightning wire that they can’t use the lightning wires they have in their possession, since their new iphone now has a USB-C charging port.

Some people have multiple lightning cables in their possession, and they wonder what is the point of having the lightning cables now that they’re basically obsolete. It may be obsolete with the future Apple products, customers can still use their lightning Apple devices that still has a lightning cable port. The law from the EU only refers to future apple products, now the ones that are currently being used now. The only question is when will the next universally accepted charging wire be introduced.
