In 2022, the European Parliament, with an overwhelming 602 to 13 vote, voted that all devices (phones, tablets, cameras, headphones, headsets, video game consoles, portable speakers, earbuds, and laptops up to 100 W of power delivery) would need to be equipped with a USB type-C port.
8 PIN CONNECTOR TYPES DRIVER
It seems like the entire world was switching to USB-C - and one major driver for that was that the EU had enough of the e-waste and complications of too many different chargers. And probably other parts of the iPhone, too. I guess I was excited about the Lightning connector 11 years ago. Apple’s remote for the Apple TV 4K became the next harbinger of the beginning of the end for Lightning, also sporting a USB-C socket. In 2020, the iPad Air followed suit, followed by the 10th-generation iPad in 2022. As early as 2018, the iPad Pro models switched to USB-C. However, as devices became more power-hungry, Apple realized that USB-C might be a better bet. With its small footprint and ubiquity - everyone had an Apple charger or two kicking around - it became a friend to billions of devices. Yes, it charged our iPhones and iPads, but the connector also found its way into keyboards, AirPods, the Apple Pen, and many other small peripherals. For Apple fans, it became the One Connector to Rule Them All and was omnipresent across all of Apple’s portable devices. It served the Apple ecosystem well, with a flexible array of power and data transportation options. On September 12, 2012, Apple said farewell to its clunky 15-pin connector and brought in a sleek, smooth, reversible 8-pin connector called the Lightning plug.
