The struggle between the European Union, which introduced a common charging port, and Apple, continues. All major manufacturers, except Apple, accepted the European Union’s common charging port bill.
Android Central officials said that the union will implement new regulations by the summer of 2020. Expectations are that Apple will initiate a legal process against the new regulation, and Android manufacturers have already started making smartphones that support the USB-C port on their devices.
Android smartphone manufacturers produced the microUSB charging port, which was not accepted by Apple before. .However, Apple has adopted the USB-C charging port in its Macbook Pro laptops and the new iPad Pro.
The European Union has also made an attempt to accelerate the transition of manufacturers to wireless charging in the coming period. Most of the manufacturers have started to turn to wireless charging alternatives.
The European Union has demanded a common charging port for all devices on the market, including tablets and smartphones. Apple responded to the request of the European Union; He said the idea could kill innovation and would generate a large amount of electronic waste as thousands of people would have to dispose of their charging cables and connectors. The company also said that throwing away the charging conductors would create an environmental and economic crisis.
