The European Parliament has voted in favour of a universal charger.
By 2024, all phones, cameras and devices must use a USB-C port.
This is something that has been on the table for quite some time.
We knew there was a push for a universal charger and for that port to be USB-C.
If you’ve bought an Android phone over the past couple of years, the chances are your device will already has this port – so you’re not going to be massively impacted.
It will force Apple to remove their lightening port – they’ve been the massive outlier here – and replace it with a USC-C connection.
There had been speculation that they would do it on the latest iPhone 14 – but they didn’t.
We do know they will have to embrace this, and that will be the case for phones, tablets and cameras by 2024
