CTOnews.com, Oct. 26, at the Wall Street Journal's Tech Live event, Apple executives Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak talked about a wide range of topics, including the USB-C port on iPhone, iMessage on Android, why iPadOS still lacks calculator applications, and more.

The EU is forcing all consumer electronics devices, including iPhone and AirPods, to switch to USB-C by the end of 2024. The new rule will have a direct impact on Apple, which still uses Lightning ports on iPhone and AirPod models. Greg Joswiak, Apple's vice president of global marketing, also known as Joz, said at the event today that Apple will "have to abide by" the new rules, indirectly confirming that iPhone will switch to USB-C in the future. CTOnews.com has learned that the report shows that Apple is testing the USB-C on the iPhone 15 series models, which is expected to be released next fall.

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, and Greg Joswiak, vice president of global marketing, talked about the pace of innovation in iPhone, including whether smartphones have become boring and whether iPhone needs to be updated every year. " People are very excited about the new iPhone, "Greg Joswiak said, referring to the new features of the iPhone 14 Pro, including the new 4800 megapixel camera and Smart Island." We always have a lot of stuff to take out, "Craig Federighi said." We have been studying these things for many years, through systematic engineering to better help our customers. "

Asked why iPadOS still lacks native calculator apps, Greg Joswiak said, "there's a lot. Check it out on App Store." When the Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern asked two Apple executives what they would do when they needed to calculate in iPad. Greg Joswiak continued, "I also use third-party applications."

Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak were also asked about Android's lack of iMessage and why Apple kept iMessage on Apple devices. Asked about an email he sent in 2013, Federighi said: "I'm worried that iMessage on Android is just to remove the barrier for iPhone families to buy Android phones for their children."

"I don't know how it got out," Craig Federighi joked in response to the question. "if we are going to enter a new market and follow the path of building applications, we have to enter the market in a way that will make a difference, we will have a lot of customers and have a good experience."

"if we just launch an app that doesn't get very good quality on other platforms, it will hinder us from creating the way we want to innovate information for our customers, and we won't achieve much else," Federighi explained.

In the interview, Craig Federighi and Greg Joswiak also talked about Apple's transition from Mac to Apple Silicon, Apple's position on privacy, and Apple's return to face-to-face work and the debate over it.
