> One recent example is the mandatory use of USB-C ports for wired charging by 2024, in order to reduce electrical waste by allowing the same chargers to be used for all small consumer electronics devices. This comes into force in 2024, and Apple is expected to comply a year ahead of time by swapping out the Lightning port on iPhones for USB-C as of next year’s iPhone 15.
Real sad about this. I’ve had a lot of Android and iOS phones, and by comparison to USB-C, the Lightning connector is more secure and gives a nice tactile click when it’s inserted fully.
