The European Union has given phone manufacturers a deadline of 28 December 2024 to adopt a common charging cable. The EU previously agreed new portable electronic devices would have to use a USB Type-C charger by autumn 2024., and with it an exact date has been set for the requirement. Companies like Apple, whose iPhones use an Apple-made charger, will not be able to sell new devices in the EU after the date unless they use a universal cable.
Apple is the biggest manufacturer to use a customised charging port which is exclusive to some of its products. Its iPhone series uses its own Lightning connector, for example.previously told the Wall Street JournalThe new rule will cover a range of "small and medium-sized portable electronics", according the EU, such as phones, tablets, headphones, and handheld game consoles.
