It has already been widely known that the European Union (EU) is pushing to have a standard USB-C port on all mobile devices by 2024. This in turn has forced Apple to strongly release its next iPhone 15 lineup with a USB-C port with many leaks suggesting so. Moreover, reports have circulated that Apple plans to use a custom integrated circuit interface for its new USB-C port on iPhones. This would entail that Apple could in fact limit the USB-C port's functionality and speeds when using uncertified, third-party accessories and charging cables. In response to this supposed plan, German newspaper Zeit Online reported that European Commissioner Thierry Breton has sent a letter to Apple warning them that limiting the functionality or speed of USB-C cables would not be permitted or approved for selling in the EU by the time the law goes into effect towards the end of 2024. Given that Apple limiting USB-C cables may all just be a rumor still, this could still mean that Apple limits speeds or sticks to the lightning port on its iPhone 15 lineup while only complying with the EU's regulations with the next iPhone 16 models by 2024. Apple has revealed that the iPhone 12 and 12 mini now come in the color Purple.
