EU approves phone charger reform, forcing Apple to adapt
One AmericaAPR 2022
Universalizing charging ports is a great move that will simplify many consumers' lives while also preventing e-waste. This latest plan is a clear victory for everyone; it's time for Apple to get on board.
Regulating charging port technology is an unnecessary overreach by the government, as forcing conformity in technology will stifle innovation and harm consumers. The potential environmental benefits may also be outweighed by the financial and environmental costs of replacing technology that is no longer compliant.
