Apple has confirmed its new iPhone will not feature its proprietary lightning charging port, after the EU forced it into the change to save users money. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The tech giant said that the iPhone 15, unveiled at its annual event on Wednesday, would use a USB-C cable as the “universally accepted standard”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A new Apple Watch series was also unveiled with a more advanced chip. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“It isn’t a surprise given the maturity of the iPhone and Watch,” said Ben Wood from CCS Insight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“It reflects just how refined the iPhone and Watch devices are and how tough it has become to deliver truly disruptive updates every year.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
