Transition to USB-C
Apple confirmed a shift away from its Lightning charging system and adoption of the USB-C port. This transition begins with the iPhone 15 series and the AirPods charging case. This change aligns with European Union regulations aimed at standardizing charging ports for electronic devices.
A decade of innovation
Over the years, Apple has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation. From the introduction of the iPad in 2010 to the groundbreaking Apple Watch in 2014 and the game-changing AirPods in 2016, Apple has firmly entrenched itself as an integral part of people’s lives worldwide.
With over 1.2 billion iPhones sold, Apple continues to be a tech giant, boasting net sales exceeding $394 billion in the previous year. Since the unveiling of the first iPhone in January 2007, the company’s stock price has skyrocketed by over 5,000%, solidifying its position as a global technology leader.
