The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are upcoming smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. They are the eighteenth-generation iPhones, succeeding the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

Apple confirmed it would comply with the regulations, and in September of that year revealed that the iPhone 15 would have a USB-C port instead of a Lightning port.[2] The iPhone 16 will also be required to use USB-C under EU law. Additionally, India passed a similar USB-C mandate which will go into effect in March 2025, also affecting the type of charging used for the iPhone 16.[3]
