Apple is ditching its in-house iPhone charging plug and falling in line with the rest of the tech industry by adopting USB-C, a more widely used connection standard.
Here's a look at the USB-C plug and what it means for consumers:The first part of the acronym stands for Universal Serial Bus, and it replaces earlier versions of the USB cables used on everything from printers and hard drives to computer mice and Kindle readers.
It's also slimmer than boxy USB-A plugs, making them a better fit for newer devices that keep getting smaller.Apple has long championed its proprietary Lightning connector for iPhones even though pretty much no one else used it. It resisted the EU's common charging push, citing worries that it would limit innovation and end up hurting consumers.
“USB-C has become a universally accepted standard so we’re bringing USB-C to iPhone 15," said Kaiann Drance, vice president of iPhone product marketing.
