EU warns Apple that limiting the functionality of USB-C cables would not be permitted

Previously, some people in the industry have said that the fastest charging speed can only be ensured when using Apple’s original charging cable. The European Union is taking steps to ensure that Apple does not limit USB-C charging and data transfer speeds for the iPhone 15 and later. The EU’s warning letter is a stern warning to Apple. If Apple does not change its behavior, it may face more severe penalties. This also means that Apple’s smartphones may be banned from the EU market. Apple said in this regard that they have been working hard to protect their brand and product quality, and limiting the charging speed of third-party accessories is to ensure the safety of users and the stability of products. They believe that this practice is to protect the interests of consumers, rather than restrict market competition. However, Apple’s claims have not been shared by consumers and competitors. They believe that Apple’s actions are restricting market competition and violating the principle of fair competition. They hope that the EU can take more stringent measures to protect the interests of consumers and fair competition in the market.
