A recent law by the European Union has forced Apple to adopt a USB Type-C port for charging Apple iPhone. Now, it is being reported that the Cupertino-based tech giant will also adopt USB-C ports for other products.
The latest report from Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that Apple will transition to USB-C ports for all the AirPods models as well as the Mac accessories like Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad from the year 2024.
Mark Gurman believes that Apple will beat the legislation’s date of application in late 2024 with most of its products. The iPhone 15, launching next year, will come with a USB Type-C port, while the iPad is expected to switch to USB-C by the end of this year.
He notes that all AirPods models, as well as the Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad, will need to make the switch when new versions are released. He anticipates several major Mac updates next year, including a new iMac and a Mac Pro.
It is also being said that moving to USB Type-C port on its devices will just be a temporary solution to avoid getting banned in the European market. Eventually, the company aims to shift entirely to inductive charging.
