What has the #EU ever done for us? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66708571
#Commoncharger

How many mobile phone chargers do you have at home? 📱

On average, we own around three mobile phone chargers.

In just over a year's time, USB Type-C will become the common charging port for all mobile phones, tablets and cameras in the EU.

Laptops will also have to be adapted to the requirements by 40 months after the entry into force of the rules. And for the record, we were the first to recommend it through a dedicated opinion. 💡

✅ Green light from the @Europarl_EN to finally have one #CommonCharger in Europe! 🔌

It's a user-friendly solution that limits e-waste!
One common charger will save you money, reduce waste & get rid of unnecessary cables and chargers.

Das einheitliche Ladegerät #CommonCharger kommt! Doch das muss erst der Anfang sein.

Recht auf Reparatur, Interoperabilität auch bei Software-Schnittstellen & transparente Infos auf den Kabeln müssen folgen!

This picture shows a USB-C plug that Apple uses for its tablets, but not the iPhone. Why not introduce USB-C as standard for all chargers, for phones, tablets, cameras? #commoncharger

Last night the European Parliament debated that question. Here's the catch.

Pour vorte info, Apple paie une écotaxe pour ne pas utiliser de prises standards.... une taxe de 0,75€. Dérisoire ? #commoncharger #usestandards https://twitter.com/FantaAlexx/status/1217014156316028928
