Taking so Long to Add a USB-C Port to the iPhone

It took Apple quite some time to start using USB-C on its devices, but it took the company even longer to add a USB-C port to the iPhone. The first smartphone with a USB-C port was introduced in 2015, but it took Apple almost ten years to make the same switch.

During that time, Apple adopted USB-C for its MacBooks and even many of its iPad models. It wasn’t until 2023 that Apple finally bit the bullet and removed the Lightning port from the iPhone.

Of course, this wasn’t because of Apple’s good intentions. It was because of new EU regulations that basically forced the company to switch ports.

Still, a win is a win, even if it took almost a decade.
