Its not about the environment its about synchronization and control
👍 But someone needs to focus on quality check, banning on all the useless electronic companies make like useless ear headphones or useless chargers. You may now buy very well looking designed packaged charger or headphone , just to find out after few day's or maybe after a month, it is no longer working, Then throw away ofcourse. Lol
Hope they will request usage of "USB Power Delivery" standart. Actually I have Apple 96W power adapter which I use to charge almost all my devices: HTC U12+, Samsung phones, Power banks, notebooks. All of them perfectly works with Apple 96W power adapter which implemented with Power Delivery standart.
and charger sold separately, come on now, how many usb charges will you need? As for the computer, my notebook computer is charged via usb/c so they can do it.
Eu will end soon
Firstly talk to China after that is possible 🤣🤣
We have so many ridiculous mandates in NZ, this would certainly be a positive!!
why is this a government decision? overreach !
I prefer the lightning cable over the USB C. the input it plugs into seems like it will break if you accidentally bend it when plugged in.
One of the many things the EU did right, along with the "right to repair".
Apple was never environmental friendly. Apple forced new "updates" to intentionally slow down your iPad or iPhone forcing you to throw the device away.
Please go worldwide, please go worldwide, pleaaaaasse 🙏🙏🙏
This is communism. 😑 Next will be the universal car or dishwasher.
Finally
Imagine having to trash a perfectly good phone because you need a battery? That would never happen now would it? Companies should be forced to service their products for a decade, no more instant obsolescence.
Time to leave the EU
Long overdue.
Apple claims it will produce wast because of cables being of no use anymore. All the charge cords I have ever used fail and need replacement anyway.
The whole world should demand this.
This is a great idea. I wish US would do this too! Create more waste lol 😆 what a stupid argument. Companies wouldn’t have to give a free cable with every device anymore. It’s a win win all around in my opinion.
Then the more efficient, faster USB-D comes along, As if Apple will would even change their design which is part of their business model. The EU have bigger issues to concentrate on!
Every pro was once a beginner.
Never give up on yourself, I believe in you!
Much love from a growing Youtuber.
Do it!!! Fk all phones should have the same charger, all fkn TV have the same fkn electricity cable…
What a waste of time🥱🥱
And Long Underwear Too for this Coming DARK Frozen Winter
Even phone chargers are political
Real change. Not significant but better for everyone.
For the moment, you can buy an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c for less than a euro. I don't know if there is one for the Apple thing.
Ein reich, ein volk, ein charger
Who is buying hella chargers? I’ve been having cell phones since like 01’ and I’ve never bought a charger… not even once.
Nice.
Yes we should at least have one universal charger but the question is which country will be making those universal charger because this idea will never come to reality trust me it won't 🍿👽🤭🇺🇸
