#USB C standard EU

USB Type-C has become the most common port in today's gadgets, but other manufacturers are still using other standards like Apple and their Lightning port. However, the European Union has now agreed to establish USB-C as its common charging port for all mobile phones, tablets, cameras, and other devices by autumn of 2024. The agreement on the EU's amended Radio Equipment Directive will establish USB-C as its single charging solution for electronic devices. The law will require small and medium-sized electronic devices to support USB-C charging for consumers to use a single cable. Devices that will now be required to use USB-C include mobile phones, tablets, e-readers, earbuds, keyboards, mice, digital cameras, headphones/headsets, handheld videogame consoles, portable navigation devices, and portable speakers. Most importantly, other than having USB-C as standard, customers can now choose whether to have a charger included or not when purchasing a new electronic device to help cut down on electronic waste.
