European Union lawmakers have reached an agreement on legislation that will force all future smartphones sold in the EU to be equipped with the universal USB-C port for wired charging by fall 2024.

Not only that, this rule will also apply to other electronic devices including tablets, digital cameras, headphones, handheld video game consoles, and e-readers... Laptops will have to comply with the rule at a later date. 🙂
Hope this will be a huge benefit to us as consumers and also to the environment. 😃

Any thoughts? Comment below 😊

I think that's a great idea, but that would require us to buy new dongles or accesories to make our current non USB C devices compatible with the trend.

Yes aiye... It'll take time to adjust to the rule.
Others
Yeah true .. tbh though mobile tech is starting to get a little boring 😴

Agreed... but rollable devices are around the corner 😉

It's good to their but not in here cause 3.5mm is more better than type c as a audio output and input
Others
They could improve it better bro... 😐 also removing the headphone jack is not acceptable for any reason 😒
