Members of the European Parliament supported the standard charger for portable electronic devices.
Mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones and headsets, portable game consoles, and portable speakers charged via a wired cable must be equipped with a USB Type-C port, regardless of manufacturer.
The new rules ensure that consumers no longer need a new charger and cable every time they buy a new deviceand they will be able to use one charger for all their electronic gadgets.
Exceptions will only apply to devices that are too small to have a USB Type-C port, such as smartwatches, health trackers and some sports equipment, according to europarl.europa.eu.
According to officials, this will reduce the amount of e-waste and make the use of various mobile phones, tablets and digital cameras more convenient.
Most of all, this innovation will affect Apple technology., where the Lightning port is used as a charging connector. The company was against the adoption of the law because it deprives it of considerable income.
However, after the adoption of the law Apple will not be able to sell its equipment in Europe. Therefore, if they do not want to lose the European market, they will have to change the design of gadgets. Especially since the users themselves want it.
Earlier we wrote that a student replaced the Lightning port in an iPhone with a USB-C connector, and then sold it for 86 thousand dollars.
