Apple Complies With EU Laws With A New iPhone And charger

September 5, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

When Apple’s newest iPhone is announced on September 12th, it will almost surely have a USB-C charging port.

Unlike competitors like Samsung, the company now uses its own Lightning adapter on its phones.

To save customers money and reduce waste, a European Union legislation mandates that phone makers use a standard charging connector by December 2024.

The majority of new Apple devices, including the most recent iPads, now utilize USB-C, although the company had advocated against the EU regulation.

An Apple spokeswoman told BBC News when it was first announced in September 2021: “Strict regulation mandating just one type of connector stifles innovation rather than encouraging it, which in turn will harm consumers in Europe and around the world.”

There are already Lightning to USB-C adapters available from other electronics retailers like Amazon, and since the 2017 release of the iPhone 8, wireless charging is enabled on all iPhone models.

The Lightning cord, which costs £19 at the Apple store, may soon become obsolete as the current iPhone 14 appears to be the company’s final product to exclusively utilize it.

Although the tech giant is less likely to produce a new version of the handset for the European market only, it is unclear whether this will be a global alteration to the device.

The new iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro smartphones, which are scheduled to be presented next week at the company’s annual autumn event, are expected to have the upgrades.

In accordance with a report by Bloomberg News, consumers will profit from the transition by having better internet speeds and the ability to charge their iPads, Macs, and iPhones with a single charger.

According to the EU, a variety of “small and medium-sized portable electronics” are covered by the common-charger regulation, including:

mobile phones
tablets
e-readers
mice and keyboards
GPS (global positioning system) devices
headphones, headsets and earphones
digital cameras
handheld videogame consoles
portable speakers

No matter who produces the devices, any of these that are charged by a wired cable will need to have a USB Type-C connector.

Although manufacturers have more time to make the improvements, laptops will also need to adhere by the requirements.

It would reportedly save customers “up to €250m [£213m] a year on unnecessary charger purchases” and save trash by 11,000 tons annually, according to the EU.

Apple Will Launch Mixed Reality Headset

June 5, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The “Reality Pro,” as it is rumored to be called, may pit Apple and Meta against one another in a technical battle where the physical and digital worlds collide.

Apple Inc. is anticipated to introduce new mixed-reality headgear on Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in California. Apple has been promoting augmented reality features for its iPhones and iPads since 2017.

It would be the tech giant’s biggest product launch since the 2015 debut of the Apple Watch.

What is known about the “Reality Pro” headset from Apple

According to media sources quoting experts, Apple is anticipated to highlight a “Reality Pro” headset, with a price tag of roughly $3,000 and specially developed software for the equipment that may resemble a pair of ski goggles.

A sleek Apple family design is anticipated for the goggles, along with the option to switch between virtual and augmented reality, often known as mixed reality or external reality (XR).

Although there are huge expectations for Apple to offer innovative technologies, the goggle’s expensive price may disappoint many ardent supporters.

Apple could only sell 150,000 pieces of the headset during its first year on the market, according to analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities. This is a low number for a firm that yearly sells more than 200 million units of its flagship product, the iPhone.

iPod users have gone to social media to express their feelings at the news and memories associated with the music players.

To me, the IPOD is the most innovative product of our lifetimes. It led to the changes in the way we communicate, function, and collaborate. It was not 1st in class but it was the most efficient.

Heck of a run IPOD! @Apple

“1,000 tunes in your pocket,” was the major headline for the night.
