One of the biggest companies to be affected here is Apple.

The parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of the change, with 602 votes for and only 13 against. Now, the switch to USB-C across the board has officially been approved. Plus, if every device in one’s home uses the same charging standard, it reduces waste and increases convenience. USB-C, with its fast charging time and speedy data transfer speeds, emerged as the best option for consumers. The EU legislation was first proposed in September 2021 after the European Parliament said it had spent years trying to get companies to voluntarily agree to rely on one type of connector. It’s a big move that spells doom for Apple’s proprietary port most phones sold around the world charge and connect to accessories using the USB-C standard, but iPhones do not.

This week, the European Union passed legislation requiring all phones, tablets, and cameras sold in the EU to come with a USB-C connector. The age of the Lightning cable is coming to an end.
