Last year, the European Union also mentioned this matter, hoping to unify the data cable standard and everyone would use the Type-C data cable interface together, forcing Apple to abandon the Lightning interface. In fact, Apple has used the Type-C interface on laptops and some tablets, and the Lightning interface is a new interface that Apple phones have innovated since 2021! So why haven't iPhones and some iPads considered completely switching to Type-C interfaces? A netizen once analyzed it this way: because Apple needs to make money, and the peripheral devices of the product are also very profitable projects. We know that Lightning interface data cables are quite easy to break, especially Apple's original data cables, which need to be updated and iterated, especially regular Apple data cables containing chips. The selling price is also expensive, so this profit is also possible! The Chinese meaning of Lightning is lightning like, fast; Therefore, the Lightning interface, also known as the "Lightning Interface," is a proprietary connector specification produced by Apple Inc. It first appeared in the 2012 release of new handheld consumer electronics products such as the iPhone 5, iPod Touch, and iPod Nano. ”

The most crucial thing is that many third-party data cable companies want to produce Apple data cables, which are recognized and have licensing fees, so Apple is not easy! So naturally, they are unwilling to give up the Lightning interface. And this is also Apple's unique interface, which has become iconic. If you start using Type-C and then give up the notch screen, it will be difficult for Apple to establish a performance effect that can recognize the phone at a glance! However, whether it is the Type-C interface or Apple's Lightning interface, they may both be transitional products, because there will be wireless connection function in the future, and no data cable is needed at all. Wireless charging and file transfer can be achieved. Therefore, these data cable modes have also begun to choose wireless connection, making it more convenient for people's wireless devices, whether it is the Type-C interface or Apple's Lightning interface; Neither of them will be fixed and unique new charging interfaces, nor can they represent future trends. So in the end, you will find that using the Type-C interface uniformly doesn't really make much sense. It's better to do our own job well. Perhaps in the future, mobile phones will completely remove the interface, which is possible. Therefore, the environmental protection factor proposed by the EU, if all are wireless, wouldn't it be even more environmentally friendly? This is the mobile data cable mode we want to see!
