Personally, I think it’s pretty lame that Apple didn’t lead the charge (pun so very much intended) several iPhone generations ago. Today, as part of its iPhone 15 launch, the Cupertino-based org announced that the Lightning connector was going bye-bye, 11 years to the day since its introduction.Ĭatch up on all of our Apple Event 2023 coverage here. 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.

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.
