USB-C On iPhones Could Soon Become Mandatory In The U.S.
In a move that could force Apple to ditch the Lightning port in favor of USB-C, three United States senators have written to the U.S. Department of Commerce, asking for a comprehensive policy to mandate a common charging standard for mobile devices in the country. The move comes barely days after European Union lawmakers proposed legislation that will require all mobile gadgets sold in the region to use USB-C ports for wired charging. According to the EU, the policy will reduce e-waste and save consumers 250 million euros ($267 million) per year on unnecessary charger purchases.
