One of Apple’s top executives has admitted the company will start putting a USB-C charging port on the iPhone.
Following a recent EU ruling to mandate a common charging standard, Apple looks set to abandon the proprietary Lightning connector it has used since 2012.
‘We have no choice – as we do around the world, [Apple will] comply with local laws,’ confirmed Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.
Joswiak was speaking onstage at the WSJ Tech Live Conference in California and repeated Apple’s long-held feelings on the matter.
‘We think it would have been better environmentally and better for our customers to not have a government be that prescriptive,’ he said.
