Apple Pulls iPhone 14 and SE from EU Ahead of USB-C Deadline

Apple Pulls iPhone 14 and SE from EU Ahead of USB-C Deadline

Published by Webster

As of Dec. 27, Apple has stopped selling the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and third-generation iPhone SE in all E.U. member states, including France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. This decision follows regulations requiring electronic devices sold in these countries to feature USB-C charging ports, which these models lack. The European “Common Charging” Directive 2022/2380, which establishes new rules for radio equipment sold in the E.U., took effect on Dec. 28. Amongst other things, it mandates that most gadgets — including phones, tablets, and cameras — charge via USB-C in a bid to reduce e-waste and address market fragmentation. Beyond requiring USB-C ports, the directive mandates that devices supporting fast charging comply with the USB Power Delivery standard, enabling quicker charging speeds and up to 240W of power. Devices must also come with clear labelling that informs customers about the charging standards and capabilities. Must-read Apple coverage Why is this directive needed? A universal charging standard ensures one charger can work for multiple devices, reducing the need to own or purchase different cables. It also …

Apple Pulls iPhone 14, iPhone SE (2022) From Online Stores in EU as USB Type-C Mandate Comes Into Effect

Apple Pulls iPhone 14, iPhone SE (2022) From Online Stores in EU as USB Type-C Mandate Comes Into Effect

Published by Webster

Apple has stopped selling iPhone 14 and the iPhone SE (2022) on its online stores in the European Union (EU). The Cupertino-based technology giant’s decision to discontinue older iPhone models is in compliance with the mandate issued by the European Parliament that was issued in October, 2022 and came into effect on December 28, 2024. It requires all small and medium-sized portable electronic devices sold in the EU bloc to have a common charging port — USB Type-C. While Apple’s newer models such as the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 come equipped with the aforementioned port, several of its older devices, which are being discontinued in the EU, still feature the company’s proprietary lightning port. However, the EU’s mandate means even older devices must be sold with a USB Type-C charger, due to which the technology giant is pulling iPhone 14 and iPhone SE (2022) from its online stores. Gadgets 360 can confirm that Apple’s decision has already come into effect. Apple stores in regions part of the EU such as Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, …

Published by Webster

Apple plans to replace a Broadcom chip from its devices with an in-house design in 2025, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Apple plans to replace Broadcom’s Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip, according to the Bloomberg News report, which added that Apple is the US chipmaker’s largest customer. The Cupertino, California-based company accounts for about 20 percent of Broadcom’s revenue.

He, however, added that Broadcom’s radio frequency, or RF, chips were complex to design and manufacture and were unlikely to be replaced in the short term. Shares of Broadcom ended 2 percent lower. Apple and Broadcom did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for …
