EU proposing USB-C smartphone charger standard
“ The Radio Equipment Directive also proposes that chargers be "unbundled" from sales of devices, and that manufacturers would no longer be able to "unjustifiably" limit charging speeds.”.These over-officious imbeciles. Yes they caught apple purposely limiting charging speeds to get a leg up on the competition. It’s called prolonging battery life and increased consumer safety. Sounds almost like Samsung is feeding them a big plate of 💩 and they gobbled it up and are asking for more. I hope apple just puts a usbc adapter in the box and says “problem solved”. Is the EU going to regulate the size of a sheet of toilet paper next? Or “wetness” of water? This was more of an issue back in the 90’s when every manufacturer had multiple different proprietary charging ports. Requiring an adapter is not a biggie, but trying to force them to change the actual port design is arrogance.
