Apple's iPhones May Have To Use USB-C Thanks To The EU

Being an Apple user in a room full of Android users or vice versa is always an annoyance because someone’s going to have to bring their own charger for their phone. However, the EU is working to combat the issue of multiple formats for electronic device chargers, which results in as much e-waste as it does dead phones, by proposing that USB-C becomes the standard charging port. The legislation would apply to devices from all manufacturers, including Apple and its ever-popular iPhones. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

In a proposal, the European Commission, an arm of the European Union, wrote that the proposed legislation would make USB-C “the standard port for all smartphones, tablets, cameras, headphones, portable speakers, and handheld videogame consoles.” Additionally, the proposal would “unbundle” charger sales from electronics sales, meaning customers won’t always get a new charger with their electronic device, a practice appley has employed for some time now with its iPhones. The main goal of this new legislation would be to prevent customers from building a currently all-too-common stockpile of various chargers and cables, resulting in massive amounts of e-waste.
