It has been a long time since a compatible iPhone was available. It will be in Europe in a couple of years.
The European Parliament approved a measure that would require all small and mid-sized electronics to use the same standard for charging. Parliament took a summer recess before making the proposal official. The EU member states have 24 months to start implementing the new law, which means Apple can't keep making the phones in those countries.
The suspension of the sale of iPhones that don't come with a charging brick was one of the reasons given by the Brazilian government.
We might not have to wait until 2024 at the very least. In May of this year, a pair of Apple experts, Mark Gurman and Ming-Chi Kuo, both said that Apple was likely to release a new version of its flagship phone in 2023, with Gurman reporting that Apple had been testing the idea at the time.
At long last, the iPhone 15 may ditch the Lightning cable in favor of something that works with all of your other devices. It's good to be hooray.
Apple was the last major holdout for flagship phones. For a long time, phones from other companies have been charging via theusb-c Recent laptops like the M2 MacBook Air and some recent iPads don't use Apple's proprietary lightning cable.
We have a firm deadline for when it will happen, even though it is inconvenient to wait until later.
Thank you, Europe.
