EU deal will force iPhones to use USB-C charger by 2024

The EU has paved the way for all smartphones to be legally required to use a USB-C port for charging, a move that could be a headache for Apple, whose iPhone is the only main brand smartphone without this type of connection.

The EU said the rule change aims to reduce hassle for consumers as well as electronic waste, as it will enable consumers to use older chargers for new devices.

The decision is yet to be approved by the European parliament and European Council, but is expected to be a formality.
