But now a good news for you! European Union (EU) is proposing C-type charger to be a universal charger. Let’s see in detail:

Why EU wants?

The goal is to said to be avoid a new fragmentation in the market, to continue to reduce environmental waste, ensure consumer convenience and avoid so-called “lock-in” effects created by proprietary charging solutions. EU further says that the rules will encourage technological innovation.

From when?

The new rules will take effect by fall 2024

Is it only for smartphones?

No, other than mobile phones, the new EU rules apply to tablets, digital cameras, earbuds, headphones and headsets, handheld videogame console, e-readers and portable speakers. All these devices would have to be equipped with a USB Type-C port, regardless of the manufacturer. 

What do the EU's new rule mean for users?
