In 2009, several manufacturers by the European Commission and the ITU decided to voluntarily adopt the MicroUSB cable and connector as "universal" for smartphones. Thus, it simplifies the consumer's life and reduces unnecessary cables and chargers. But Apple did not want to be part of this initiative, but eventually may have to adopt it for their next smartphone, the iPhone 6.
The connector currently using the iPhone, since the iPhone 5, can not be aware of the "face" of it, ie we connect as we connect, always "go", since it is symmetric. However, despite what might like this connector own Cupertino company, it is true that if every electronic device were using a different connector, return to "cable chaos." Therefore, the European Parliament intends to "force" Apple to take the MicroUSB connector through a new law. Obviously, Apple could also stop selling in Europe and continue his Lightining connector, do you imagine it?
The iPhone 6 would take the MicroUSB connector, like everyone else
Depending on the success or failure that has this "process", the iPhone 6 come to the market, at last, with a connector would share with other smartphones on the market, the MicroUSB. And, not a component in which a manufacturer can be distinguished from the rest, or yes, but consumers prefer the convenience of cable share the rest of your devices.
For example, in a family in which there is only one iPhone, it would not have a problem its user to share the magazine with the rest of his family. And when we use iPhone and Android tablet or iPad and Android smartphone? In this case could also be used the same carrier for both devices, as happens if we use, for example, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7.
Whatever the point of view from which reason together the situation, the future of Apple is that, take the MicroUSB connector and leave behind its connector Lightning. The committee has begun negotiations with the European Council in order to move forward in the legislative process. Source: MacWorld
