The common charger for all devices is thus becoming a reality, at least until the world moves completely to wireless charging. Instead, it chose to comply and follow the EU rules everywhere.
In October last year, the European Commission requested all phones and laptop producers switch to the USB-C connector (which had earlier been agreed on as a common standard).Īpple could have chosen to ignore the request and stop selling in the EU, or to produce versions with USB-C for the European single market only. The last device to swap is the iPhone, and it happened against Apple’s will. After many years of designing and selling a variety of different cables to power and charge its devices, Apple has slowly switched to USB-C chargers for all of its products.
