In June, the European Parliament and the European Council reached an agreement that by autumn 2024, the USB type-C interface will become the standard charging interface for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras in the European Union. For Apple, which has been using the Lightning interface, this protocol is undoubtedly a huge blow. Recently, there have been rumors that at least five more Apple products and accessories will use the type-c interface in the future.

The iPhone 14 series has basically confirmed that it will continue to use the Lightning interface. Bloomberg reporters reported that Apple is testing an iPhone with a type-c interface, perhaps next year's iPhone 15 series. Gurman stated that the 10th generation iPad will adopt the type-c interface, and the entire iPad product line will transition to type-c in 4 years. Apple analyst Guo Mingyi said that the AirPods charging box will also use the type-c interface, but it is not yet clear whether it is the second-generation AirPods Pro.

Guo Mingyi stated that the MagSafe battery pack, Mac's smart keyboard, smart control board, and smart control mouse will use the type-c interface in the future. It is worth mentioning that there are reports on the internet that the iPhone 15 series will be equipped with an exclamation mark screen as standard throughout the entire series, while the iPhone 16 series may adopt an off screen camera and off screen Face ID.
