The unified charging interface may cause Apple to lose 10 billion yuan every year. Accessories really make money!

Recently, the hot topic in the mobile phone industry is that the interface has been unified. For various reasons, the charging interface of Apple's mobile phone is quite special, which is different from the charging interface used by other mobile phone brands. This means that Apple users need to purchase additional chargers and charging cables. Recently, there was news that the unified charging interface may cause Apple to lose 10 billion every year. It can also be seen that accessories are really profitable!

Recently, a new EU regulation on unified charging interface has put Apple in the forefront of the storm. Unlike other Android phone manufacturers, which almost all use USB Type-C charging interface, Apple has insisted on providing a dedicated Lightning interface for iPhone for many years, and has always been an opponent of unified charging interface. The charging is slow and incompatible with other devices. The Lightning interface not only brings inconvenience to users, but also generates more electronic waste, which runs counter to the environmental protection concept advocated by Apple. Many experts pointed out that the high cost of accessories and MFi certification fees has brought Apple a lot of profits, which is the root cause of Apple's unwillingness to unify the charging interface. If Apple finally follows the new EU regulations, the annual loss may exceed 10 billion yuan.

Whether it is Apple or other mobile phone brands, if the charging interface is unified, it must be a good thing for users. After all, no one wants to spend a lot of money to buy special chargers and charging heads. Apple's practice can be said to cause public anger!
