Mobile manufacturers have to make the same type of charger for all types of phones. By 2024, this rule will apply to all phones in the European Union. On Tuesday, the proposal was brought to the EU Parliament. The proposal was passed by voting. As a result, many companies, including Apple, will have to change their phones and chargers.
The 'USB-Type C' charger that is currently used in Android phones, according to the proposal passed, must be used for all phones in the 27 countries of the European Union. Among the big names, the rule will have the biggest impact on iPhone maker Apple. Companies like Samsung and Huawei will also be affected. However, according to experts, it will benefit customers. Because even if you change the phone, you don't have to carry around the charger.
Not just the phone. The same rule is going to come in the case of total 13 types of devices. The same charger should be used to charge devices such as earbuds, headphones and e-readers. This rule will also be issued in the case of laptops. But the manufacturing companies will get some more time for that. By 2026, the rule of making a single charger for laptops will be issued.
