[QUOTE="justkeepswimming, post: 149312, member: 25536"] [B]Apple just can't catch a break. [/B] The new iPhone 15 comes with USB-C charging port rather than Apple's unique lightning connector. This new feature is not Apple's own decision but rather forced on it by the EU's policy that requires all phone manufacturers to adopt a common charger by December 2024. Now this could be viewed from the angle of just another big tech crackdown by regulators but there is more to it. Apple is facing further problems in the EU as France ordered Apple to remove their iPhones from the market due to radiation concerns. They ordered Apple to update the software or remove the devices in 15 days. Despite arguing that iPhones has been certified by multiple international bodies and complies with the radiation standards, Apple has decide to update the software to prevent similar statements from other countries and of course to avoid further bad press. But the company's troubles do not end there. China, Apple's largest international market, bringing in 20% of last quarters earnings, brought trouble for the company this week. Unfortunately, Apple is caught in the US/China trade wars as state employees across China were told to stop using iPhones by various govt agencies. This announcement knocked $200 billion off Apple's share value last week! (Yikes) With Huawei, a chinese-competitor, releasing a new smart phone, troubled waters lie ahead for Apple indeed. However, this could just be a political play as Apple did not receive the cold treatment other US tech titans have in the past such as Google, Meta and Twitter which suffered outright bans and various restrictions. China's lack of public directive against Apple also hints at this. Perhaps there may be hope. Safe to say, Apple has had a tough few weeks. [/QUOTE]
