Under a new law proposed by the European Commission, all phone and small electronic device companies will be required to provide uniform charging.
The goal is to reduce waste and encourage consumers to use the old charger when buying a new device.
The proposal states that all smartphones sold in EU countries should have a USB Type-C charger.
But Apple has warned that such a move would hurt innovation and hurt consumers around the world, not just Europe. According to him, their goal is to make every Apple device carbon free by 2030
Many end-ride phones are available with a microB charging port or have now moved to modern USB standards.
The iPad and MacBook have USB charging ports. And the same is true of high-end smartphone models, such as Samsung and Huawei's latest phones.
These changes will apply to the charging port on the body of the device. The cable to which the cable will be attached can be USB or USBA.
A study by the Commission in 2019 found that about half of the chargers sold in the EU in 2018 were USB microB connectors, while 29% had USBBC connectors and 21% had Lightning connectors.
The proposed rules will apply to the following items:
Smart phone
Tablet
Camera
Headphones
Portable speakers
Handheld video game consoles such as PlayStation or Xbox
