Eu officials are drafting legislation, the sources said, without disclosing further details. Last year, members of the European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of universal chargers. Because it not only brings convenience for users, but also has extremely high environmental benefits.
In 2011, Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Nokia signed a voluntary memorandum of understanding to coordinate the reduction of different types of smartphone chargers on the market and steer the market toward the USB 2.0 microUSB connector standard.
In the last decade, mobile phones were only charged 5-10 watts. Now it has soared to 100-200W, which shows that the traditional charging interface can not meet the market demand.
A 2019 study by the European Commission found that half of all charging adapters sold with phones in the EU in 2018 were USB micro-B connectors, 29% USB-C connectors and 21% Apple-led Lighting connectors.
Apple's every move will affect the attention of users, interface upgrade is again associated with this event.
According to intellectual property experts in the industry, the EU will solicit proposals from companies and then determine the real-time details and time limit. The overtime usually leaves 12-24 months for manufacturers to prepare, which shows that the fast charging standard advocated by the EU will not be enforced and real-time as soon as it is published.
