A new set of regulations in the European Union as well as in Brazil require the use of theusb-c on phones. If Apple wants to keep selling its phones in the EU, it will have to make the change.

For users, this means that most of their gadgets will charge with the same cable.

Apple doesn't like this. The approach would have been better for the environment and the customers.

He wouldn't say when the switch will happen. He said that Europeans were controlling timing for their customers.
