Funkydog 06/07/22 8:14:53 AM #1:	https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/7/23156361/european-union-usb-c-wired-charging-iphone-lightning-ewaste European Union lawmakers have reached an agreement on legislation that will force all future smartphones sold in the EU including Apples iPhone be equipped with the universal USB-C port for wired charging by fall 2024. The rule will also apply to other electronic devices including tablets, digital cameras, headphones, handheld video game consoles, and e-readers. Laptops will have to comply with the rule at a later date. The legislation has been under development for more than a decade, but an agreement on its scope was reached this morning following negotiations between different EU bodies. The legislation still needs to be approved by the EU Parliament and Council later this year, but this appears to be a formality. In a press release, the European Parliament stated clearly that the law will be in place by autumn 2024. By this date, all devices covered by the law and sold in the EU will have to use USB-C for wired charging.

Funkydog 06/07/22 8:29:30 AM #9:	DeadBankerDream posted... I don't know what that means. Is this about those apple lightning ports? Basically, yes. It's making every electronic device have a standard charging port and not companies like Apple making their own that you have to spend far too much on and not use your standard ones you use for everything else. Pretty much everything else already uses C, so really only going to be Apple suffering. And Apple customers benefiting in the long run. Solid Sonic posted...

USB-C can be used as either the host (ie: like on a PC) port or the client (like on a phone / other device) port. Yes, it has numerous advantages over regular USB. "Standard" laptops tend to have a mix of both types these days, while ultraportables might have both or might only have USB-C (but you can get a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect older devices). Desktops are most likely going to have one or two USB-Cs and a heap of USB-As still. saspa posted... And isn't there already a usb 2.0 and 3.0 with the blue underline, how does that fit into the debate? Is usb-c better than regular usb for stuff like reading the data or transferring the data or whatever? USB-C is the physical connector. The underlying electronic signal could still be either USB2 or USB3 (though certain other signals, eg. DisplayPort, can also be transmitted over a USB-C cable). --- Ask not what your Trumble can do for you; ask what you can do for your Trumble. http://error1355.com/ce/Trumble.html <cite>Trumble posted [p:965611327] in EU lawmake...
