The European Union has proposed new rules that will
The European Union has proposed new rules that will make USB-C ports standard on smartphones, tablets, cameras, phones, portable speakers and handheld video game systems. Apple isn`t happy.

What is it any business of gov`t to regulate this? Let the free market decide.

today I announce my first intnl org whose obj Is to prosecute criminally and coll damages from everybody who says we will help India monitor and breach public privacy Kapil. min 1k employees required. penalize people for having such thoughts. all is public privacy. 1 mil women,

Out of all the positive things laws could change, this is what politicians are spending their time on. Its a wonder nothing ever gets done.

really? the most monumental waste of time in world history. its 2021. you can flush a baby no problem, yet this is is a thing in europe. battery charger ports.

But usb-c is so ugly, I rather the lightning port

Excellent news, as the new USB-C 2.1 standard will allow up to 250Watts of power delivery, this could replace so many adapters... That would be okay and fine if its going to help the world at this period of time Ramon Bunmi (Nigeria Jesus)

"European consumers were frustrated long enough about incompatible chargers piling up in their drawers. We gave industry plenty of time to come up with their own solutions, now [the] time is ripe for legislative action for a common charger."

Nice move.. now I can have all devices share same port

Proposed new rules. While Apple is using USB-C already in some of their iPad product line. Their supplied power bricks are USB-C. Its a small step to change the future phones and products to USB-C. If its wise? USB-D on the horizon? Or just Thunderbolt.

I`d like to know the reason why EU has chosen USB-C.

Does it means that era high priced (but poor quality) charging cables sold in Apple Stores will end soon ?

Never gonna buy except..... I have a Samsung phone, watch, ear buds..... but a MacBookPro MacBooks are still way better than PC equivalents.

Nice move... why the difference in ports?

its a stupid rule and Apple should just buy Europe

who cares about apple?? i don`t

IF Apple did a car, it would force customers to use their own tires, their own gasoline, etc and it would be more expensive than the rest.

European strategy needs fastly independence

They would be perfectly happy if the EU had chosen THIER connector/cord type. Then people`d be buying Appje cables for everything. They`re just pissed because they have to quit selling proprietary cables for thier products over there,

It`s time Apple innovate beyond superfluously proprietary dongles; it`s so yesterday to charge your phone with one cable and your computer with another. The rest of the tech industry has figured this out awhile ago. It`s unbecoming of Apple to persist in this folly.

Apple should stop selling their products in Europe

I always asked why I can`t insert an USB on my smartphone

Of course theyre not. Its a threat to them being able to gouge every 3rd party cable manufacturer on licensing fees

Europe is always a big problem.

Not a great idea to limit what developments can be made. USBC is the standard now.but what about in 5 years?
