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.
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.
You can use the European Parliament's official website, Tech Crunch website and XDA-Developers website to learn more about this.
