When will the USB-C iPhone arrive?

Not long ago, the European Union announced a proposal to make all electronic devices use a unified USB-C interface and a unified fast charging technology to promote environmental protection with practical actions. In addition to Apple's own actions, the EU's new regulations may be the only hope for the USB-C interface iPhone.

Apple disagreed, arguing that the proposal would stifle innovation. This makes sense. If all electronic products use a unified interface and charging protocol, manufacturers will be bound by the norm. If we want to see the next generation of ultra-fast flash charging technology and ultra-fast transmission protocol, we have to rely on the entire industry alliance. progress.

Taking the fast charging protocol as an analogy, the super fast charging created by mobile phone manufacturers are almost all private agreements bound to their own mobile phones. In a sense, everyone is talking about general norms, and those who really have advanced technology want to use this as a moat to build their own private profit space.

Of course, we have always believed that generic interfaces are the real future. Embracing a unified interface does not conflict with the exploration of developing advanced transmission and charging technologies. Whether the iPhone will use the USB-C interface depends on the game between manufacturers, industry chains and industry regulators.
