Od subote 28. prosinca svi mali i srednji prijenosni elektronički uređaji prodani na tržištu EU-a moraju biti kompatibilni s USB-C priključcima. Time se želi smanjiti količina otpada, ali i olakšati život potrošačima, koji će od sada diljem EU-a moći koristiti jedan punjač za pametne telefone, tablete, kamere, slušalice, igraće konzole i druge uređaje. USB-C priključak postaje standard za punjenje mobilnih uređaja, čime se ukida potreba za različitim vrstama punjača
The EU is introducing a universal USB-C charging port for all small and medium-sized portable electronic devices starting December 28th, 2023.
This aims to reduce electronic waste and simplify consumer life, as a single charger can now be used for various devices like smartphones, tablets, and headphones. The move eliminates the need for different chargers, saving consumers money and resources.
News articles highlight the environmental benefits of reduced e-waste and the economic savings for consumers. However, they also mention that Apple, known for its proprietary Lightning connector, will have to adapt to this new standard.
