Apple may be forced to stop using the Lightning connector cable.

Apple is known for its uniqueness and quality, from the beginning Apple is using lightning connector cables for its products, but things have been changed over the decade, European Commission wants to have only one Universal charger that can charge all mobile devices including Apple iPhones, The European Commission wants USB-C to become the standard charging connector for all cellphones within the EU.

The legislation will practically force Apple to abandon the Lightning cord in 27 nations, including India, but the Cupertino company is staunchly opposed. According to Apple, a universal charger would result in an "unprecedented amount of electronic waste" due to "hundreds of millions of active devices and accessories used by their European customers."

Here's where Apple's reasoning falls flat: the company has already released USB-C-capable gadgets including the iPad Pro, Powerbeats Pro, and MacBook notebooks. This also doesn't imply that Apple is obligated to use the Lightning port in future iPhones simply because older consumers still use Lightning cables. The majority of electronic companies have already adopted USB-C as a standard, with Apple being the lone holdout.

The European Commission is pushing for universally standard chargers since electronic waste has become a major concern in many countries. According to Reuters, the law is still being prepared and is up for presentation. Last year, legislators in the European Parliament voted "overwhelmingly in favor of a standard charger" for both convenience and environmental reasons.

Apple will be the most affected by the new legislation if it passes. Because most non-Apple products have that port, Apple will be pushed to switch to USB-C or micro-USB chargers. It's also possible that it will transform how we charge our iPhones.

Isn't this something that's happened before?

In 2009, Apple signed a memorandum of understanding with ten other major tech companies, including Nokia and Samsung.

Consumers will be able to charge their phones with micro-USB chargers, according to the company.

Apple, on the other hand, took advantage of a loophole that permitted manufacturers to use their chargers as long as they provided an adaptor.

The EU then approved the Radio Equipment Directive in 2014, requiring a "renewed endeavor to produce a standard charger."

Apple claimed that their thinner products would be unable to accommodate the then-new USB-C technology and that meeting the required standard would cost up to $2 billion (£1.53 billion).

What will you do if apple were forced to use a C-type connector?

If you are using Apple products and in the future if Apple has changed its connector from lightning to C-type it will not impact your current device and if you think you will not get the lightning charger for your iPhone in near future then you are wrong!

Because, Armilo India provides the multi-connector charging cable which can charge your iPhone in no time, Armilo V3 comes with three connectors that can help you charge any device you have, this will never let you worry about, if iPhone changed its charging cords in near future.
