The new EU Legislation demands that Apple creates type C charger
Updated | By Lifestyle Reporter
Will the rest of the world have the
same demand?
The Europe Union has sent out a demand for all electronic devices to use USB-C charging ports by fall of 2024, regardless of who their manufacturer is.
This follows a legislative process that took a decade to conclude with EU lawmakers.
This requirement is being pushed through to ensure the reduction of technological waste. The next production batch and sale of new laptops, as well as other digital devices, might see a change in the USB cord to comply with the legislation.
