The obvious question here being, will Apple switch to USB Type C for iPhones, or, more likely, include an adapter in the box?


The EU standard is micro USB. Why would Apple switch to Type C, then include a C to micro adapter?

Or are the Swiss picking a different standard?

Or is the EU switching, or allowing two standard ports?


I seriously doubt that Apple will change to micro usb that I believe that is the European standard, unless the new standard is usb-c I don't see that happening. Same thing happens with the 2year warranty AFAIK.
