The new policy requires all phones and tablets in the U.S. to have a charging port.
All tablets, phones, and cameras sold within the European Union will be required to have a charging port by the end of 2024, according to the European Parliament.
New mobile devices that use a cable for charging speeds of up to 100W of power must come with a universal serial bus port, according to parliament. The end of misleading charging claims will be signaled by the fact that fast charge devices will charge at the same speed. It's easy for consumers to be reassured that they'll be able to plug it into any of the best phones, tablets, or laptops when they need it.
Consumers in the EU will no longer have to deal with the "lock-in" effect. If you were to purchase a product from one manufacturer, you might become dependent on that sole source, since it offers everything you'd need for that product.

This new law is being looked at by the EU as a way to cut waste impacts on the environment. E-waste is estimated to be around 11,000 in Europe and the European Parliament believes that requiring all devices to have ausb-c port would cut down on it. The EU estimates that this new law will help its residents save 250 million a year since they will no longer need to find cables to fit their device's charging port.
All of our attention is on Apple and it will have to abide by this policy. The "lock-in" effect Parliament refers to is caused by the use of a Lightning port in the iPhone. Now that the policy is one step closer to becoming law, the recently released iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro could be some of the last to have Apple's legendary lightning port.
It won't be too long before we're all on the same cord, since consumers in the EU still have some time to wait.
