iPhone switching to USB-C is a win for consumers and the environment – but to what extent?

Retrieved on: 
Saturday, September 16, 2023

Among the usual new feature announcements, one stunning change has stood out in particular.

Key Points: 
  • Among the usual new feature announcements, one stunning change has stood out in particular.
  • But what does this major change really mean for Apple, consumers and the environment?

Apple marched to its own beat until now

    • Since the inception of Apple, the company has been well known to develop various proprietary connectors in lieu of adopting tech standards used elsewhere in the industry.
    • As a result, they could retain control of their product ecosystem.
    • The group that develops and maintains the standard includes more than 700 tech companies, including Apple, Microsoft and Samsung.

The EU demands USB-C

    • The iPhone 15 switch to USB-C comes less than a year after the EU passed legislation to require all smartphones, tablets, digital cameras and other small devices to support USB-C by the end of 2024.
    • The rules also impose a requirement for “fast charging”, to ensure devices can be charged at the same speed no matter which charger is used.
    • Given the size of the EU market, the new rules may lead to other countries introducing similar legislation.

How much of an e-waste savings is it, really?

    • This is due to the shortened lifespan of our electronic devices, limited repair options and growing consumer demand for the newest high-tech products.
    • The EU’s decision to demand USB-C is part of a greater effort to tackle e-waste.
    • Ironically, it could generate more e-waste in the short term as individuals phase out their Lightning cables and old iPhones.

What can you do about e-waste?

    • So, what should you do when it’s time to clean out the drawer full of old devices and cables?
    • For example, the City of Sydney Council provides a free collection of all e-waste at recycling stations for residents.
    • Other organisations like MobileMuster offer a similar service where they will recycle mobile phones, chargers and accessories at no cost.
