The EU aims to use the same charging port for all Smartphones
You're in the house of a relative, and you're about to die after remembering that your iPhone's got a charge lying there. You just have a launcher for Android. You are trapped. You are trapped.
The European Union. I want to avoid such a situation by providing a common and special charging port for all types of smartphones.
The hope is that electronic waste will be curbed and customer experience enhanced.
U.S. Does this also boost the lives of customers as they update their mobiles, who will no longer have to go out and purchase a new charger.
This isn't how we learn about E.U for the first time. Demand a modification like this. The European Commission demanded harmonized charging schemes back in 2009. And the latest Single Ladder directive was established by the European Parliament in 2014.
Apple responded to the E.U's plea one year ago that massive quantities of electronic waste would still occur if the legislation were enforced. Everyone with a smartphone should purchase a new universal charger that they can uninstall from their old chargers.
Actually, almost 1 billion customers use the lightning port of Apple. To that effect, the substitution of one billion chargers over the electronic waste sector in the short term will, in the first place, deprive the motive of this directive.
