Mobile phones have become the main electronic device of the vast majority of people.Some use accessories such as covers or headphones, and others not.But all use their charger, because it is obvious that it is necessary.

Although it is currently very common to have compatible loaders, a few decades ago each brand had theirs, and a Nokia could not be charger with the Siemens and vice versa charger.

Little by little, the industry was standardizing the loaders until the microusb became almost hegemonic.Almost.But times change and the USB has become the standard of an industry that goes far beyond phones.

The European Union wants USB C to be the only option

However, there are still models that are launched with microusb ports, usually the most economical, such as the Samsung Galaxy A10 or the Nokia 2.3 that has just reached the market.

European governments are studying to create legislation that forces all mobile manufacturers to use the USB cable if sold in Europe.The reason is to reduce the amount of waste and elements to be recycled that generate phones.

It is not the first attempt

This idea, which many seems very logical, is not the first time that it is discussed within the European Union.In 2014, all manufacturers were tried to use the microusb, but it failed.

Now it seems that they want to take measures that really make the USB C the only connector that mobile phones can use.

Apple also affects

Most brands have already chosen to use this connector in their mid -middle and high models.It would be unthinkable to see Samsung, Huawei or LG putting a proprietary charger or returning to the micro USB.

But there is an exception: Apple.

As you know Apple continues to use its lighting connector in mobile phones, although in some models of other branches of its business it does use the USB C.There are iPads and laptops that already opt for the universal charger, and the European Union wants, at least in this continent, the iPhone is not an exception.

There are rumors that in 2021 we could see an iPhone with USB C, but there are also a possible iphone without ports, capable of being loaded only by wireless loaders.And let's be sincere, it is not the first time we hear this.

It remains to be seen if the European Union now achieves what it did not achieve in the middle of last decade, implement the universal charger.And if they succeed, to continue towards the rest of the electronic devices.
