European Parliament he kind of "put the guns" on Apple, and various other phone and tablet manufacturers, and now he wants to force them to do something that some have refused to offer to their customers for years. More precisely, the European Parliament wants the phones and tablets sold in the European Economic Area to have only one type of charging and data transfer port, and this could be the USB-C one, already used by most mobile terminal manufacturers.
European Parliament wants to standardize the connector used for mobile terminals so that people can use a single type of charging or data transfer cable with several models of terminals. Until recently, the European Union recommended mobile terminal manufacturers to adopt a single standard for phone and tablet connectors, and if some listened to this, others did not care at all.
The European Parliament wants to FORCE Apple to make a BIG Change for the iPhone
European Parliament he had a legislative proposal read today by which phone and tablet manufacturers will be required to use only one type of connector in terminals, which is somewhat necessary. Of all the major manufacturers of mobile terminals, only Apple would be seriously affected by such a decision taken by the European Parliament, but even the Americans have started using USB-C in tablets, so they will do it in phones as well.
European Parliament will have to fight a little with Apple, who a year ago said that such a law would inhibit innovation, would be negative for the environment, and would unnecessarily affect consumers. The reality is that Apple inhibits innovation and gives consumers a headache, not such a change, and the European Parliament should require them to think beyond profit, that is, to use the USB-C standard in the iPhone as well.
European Parliament will vote on this legislative proposal in the next parliamentary session, so it remains to be seen how the law will look in the final version, and if Apple will be forced to do exactly what it does not want.
