EU decides to make USB-C port mandatory for all mobile phones

-



With the introduction of the USB-C standard in 2015, most Android phones have adapted to this, but micro-USB and other ports are still on the market.

Specifically, Apple uses its proprietary port, Lightning Ports, to maintain its monopoly.

However, the European Commission has now proposed that the USB-C port should be made mandatory for all phones, tablets, e-book readers and all portable devices.

The main reason for this is that E-waste, or electronic waste, can be minimized and enabled to charge any cell phone using the same cable.

The proposal has now been drafted and will require the manufacturer to add a USB-C port to their phones if they want to sell their phones in European countries.

The same applies to Apple phones, which require Apple to add a USB-C port to their upcoming iPhone instead of their Lightning port.

It is reported that they intend to legislate between July and September this year.

Apple is currently working on updating its iCloud.com mobile website, which is great news for users using their iCloud account via a web browser on Android or iOS. You may remember that the site is loaded from a mobile browser, but it is loaded from a full desktop site. However, Apple has taken steps to make this new mobile site look like a normal iOS-related service. This is especially useful for those who have access to their iCloud account using an Android device, and services such as Notes, Photos, Reminders and Find My iPhone can be easily accessed via an Android device. However, with this new mobile UI, only Notes, Photos, Reminders, and Find My iPhone services are available, and other apps like Contacts, Calendar, and iWork Suite are expected to be added to the mobile website. To find out more about this, use The Verge website and 9to5mac.
