The European Union has made its ruling: If Apple wants to sell new iPhones in the region, those devices will need to have a USB-C port before the end of 2024.

That means Apple’s proprietary Lightning connector, which has existed for more than a decade and established itself as a considerable money-maker for the tech giant, will need to be phased out of future iPhones. At least the ones going to the EU.

“We have no choice — as we do around the world, [Apple will] comply with local laws,” Greg JoswiakApple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said at a Wall Street Journal tech conference on Oct. 25 when asked if Apple will adhere to the EU’s common charging law.

“We think it would have been better environmentally and better for our customers to not have a government be that prescriptive.”

While the legislation technically only applies to consumer electronics sold within the European Union, Apple may be forced to decide on the fate of the Lightning port for iPhones bound for overseas. Most commercial phones charge and connect to accessories using the USB-C standard, but iPhones don’t. Could this mean future iPhones sold outside the European Union will also transition to a USB-C charging port? Or will Apple make hardware changes by geography: Producing two iPhone variants to accommodate USB-C and Lightning — one for the EU and the other for the rest of the world?

Apple has modified iPhone models regionally, as it has done

On Jan. 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger experienced a malfunction shortly after liftoff that cost the lives of the seven crew members on board. Now, a piece of the doomed spacecraft has been found on the ocean floor off the coast of Florida.

A documentary crew working on a television show for the History Channel discovered the underwater artifact while looking for airplane wreckage. In a statement on Thursday, NASA said it had reviewed the footage and confirmed the section came from Challenger. The loss of Challenger, and later Columbia in 2003, spurred NASA to improve its safety efforts.

History Channel shared a preview on Thursday of the show that will delve into the artifact’s discovery. It will air as part of the series The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Watersthough the piece of Challenger was not found in the Bermuda Triangle, a region of ocean with an urban-legend-level reputation for ship and aircraft disappearances.

The footage shows divers clearing sand away from the artifact as fish swim over it. The segment is measured in at about 20 feet (6 meters) long and is made up of a series of 8-inch (20 centimeters) tiles. “I think we need to talk to NASA,” one of the divers says at the end of the clip. The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters will air on History Channel on Tuesday, Nov. 22.

NASA didn’t specify which part of the shuttle the section came from, but the thermal tiles appear to be a
