While that would have only a trivial effect on sales, it demonstrates how the increasing diplomatic turbulence between Washington and Beijing could stoke further questions over Apple’s dependence on China for manufacturing. The charger change would put iPhones in compliance with a European Union law requiring USB-C to be the single charger standard for all new smartphones, tablets and cameras from late 2024.
European Union policymakers say the rule will simplify the life of Europeans, do away with the mountain of obsolete chargers and reduce costs for consumers. “Apple’s Wonderlust event next week will center on the iPhone, which needs a big cycle after a tepid last few quarters,” said Insider Intelligence principal analyst Yory Wurmser.
“China is a very important market for Apple, so any negative sentiment by the Chinese government toward Apple is concerning,” analyst Greengart told AFP.
