Today is the day. Welcome to THE charger!
USB-C is officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU.
This means:
🔌The same charger for all new phones, tablets and cameras
⚡ Harmonised fast-charging technology
🔄 Reduced e-waste
🛑 No more “Sorry, I don’t have the right cable”
One charger to rule them all.
@EUCommission Hard disagree with this decision. It forces form-factor compromises that prevent innovation.
Politicians are not technically skilled enough to make these decisions.
Now I have incompatible cables with the same connector (charge only, charge and data, limited bandwidth ones, etc.) and devices that can’t work with proper Power Delivery adapters because they’re really dumb 5V devices and cheap out on the resistors needed to declare that.
