Apple has always been characterized by having a very particular and closed ecosystem compared to other companies. If we analyze the panorama a bit, we will realize that Apple is one of the few brands that has its own operating system, models, and even charging ports. Despite this great differential, many users currently still have a preference for the apple company; However, a controversy in the European Union could generate a great change in the next Apple models worldwide.
It all started a few years ago when the European Union focused its efforts to implement a single USB-C charger in all devices marketed in European countries.

Although Apple has refused to be part of this new policy, since the legislation was approved in September 2021, everything indicates that the American company will have to succumb to European requirements.
This threat to Apple devices has become more relevant, after the European Parliament has announced that it will give the green light to the European Commission to go ahead with this new regulation.
This is a serious blow to Apple and its lightning port, since it causes future iPhones to have to abandon their proprietary port in favor of USB-C.

the only thing left is that the commission specialized in this change rewrite a report addressed to the European Parliament so that it can approve it completely. Once the legislative text is approved, will take about two years to enter into force, which means that, from 2025, All mobile devices, including iPhones, tablets, digital cameras, headsets, game consoles, and portable speakers will need to have a USB Type-C charging port.
Without a doubt, this change would affect the next Apple models and we would believe that it could mean a change worldwide, since Apple already had intentions to apply USB Type C, and it is unlikely to apply it only in European countries.
