EU parliament passes new law requiring USB-C to be the single standard charger for all new smartphones, tablets and cameras from late 2024
The EU parliament has passed a new law requiring USB-C to be the single charger standard for all new smartphones, tablets and cameras from late 2024.
It is expected to save at least 200 million euros per year and cut more than a thousand tonnes of EU electronic waste every year, the bloc's competition chief Margrethe Vestager said.The European Union's 27 countries are home to 450 million people who count among the world's wealthiest consumers. Regulatory changes in the bloc often set global industry norms in what is known as the Brussels Effect.
"After more than a decade; the single charger for multiple electronic devices will finally become a reality for Europe and hopefully we can also inspire the rest of the world," he said. But it resisted EU legislation to force a change away from its Lightning ports on its iPhones, saying that was disproportionate and would stifle innovation.
