EU lawmakers to meet this month to USB-C everything, including iPhones

We’ve been hearing about the possibility of EU lawmakers forcing all mobile device manufacturers to adopt a USB-C charging port for a while now. If passed, this law would ensure that all phones, tablets and headphones sold in Europe have a USB-C port for charging. This change will reduce e-waste and make people’s lives easier. We’re halfway to 2022, and we still have to carry a ton of cables to charge different devices. Fortunately for users, we seem to be getting closer to a world where USB-C is the global charging standard. EU countries and EU lawmakers could agree to enforce a single charging port across all mobile devices next week.

according to Reuters Report, EU countries and EU lawmakers are set to agree on a common charging port for mobile phones, tablets and headphones on June 7.. This particular case was first brought up by the European Commission many years ago. Finally, results can be achieved in the near future. Apple has criticized the move in the past, citing how it was forced to use USB-C stifles innovation. In addition, tech giant Cupertino believes that users who switch from Lightning cables to USB-C cables will create cables A mountain of electronic waste.

And the people said that the tripartite next Tuesday will be the second and most likely the last between the European Union countries and the European Union legislators on this subject, which is an indication of a strong impetus for the completion of an agreement.

Right now, Apple is turning to the Lightning port on all of its iPhones, while it’s using USB-C on some iPad and Mac models. This discrepancy is totally illogical, considering that the company referred to the latter as a Dated international standard. In addition, rumors suggest that the iPhone 2023 could include a USB-C port. It may be because Apple didn’t want to relinquish the control it had (through its own port of ownership) but is now under pressure to give it up.
