This idea of standardizing cell phone chargers was approved in the European Union. It was proposed 10 years ago, however, it suffered great resistance from Apple. This norm aims to facilitate the resolution of impasses as mentioned above, in addition to also resolving impasses related to the commercialization of fake products and commercial exchanges.
Popular brands like Xiaomi and Samsung already support the Android system, so such a rule would not directly affect them. In the case of Apple, the company will have to invest in the creation of other inputs, capable of accepting USB Type-C adapters, since it uses its own input, called Lightning. According to information from Apple internal sources, the company plans to abandon its own entry in the next iPhone 15.
How are countries receiving the novelty of the standardized charger?
This standard has been accepted in several countries, including Brazil. The National Telephony Agency (Anatel) accepted the proposal and will participate in this change in the regularization of cell phone chargers. Therefore, this change will contribute to all mobile phones sold in the country having to come with this type of USB Type-C input. It is worth mentioning that any country that does not want to adapt to this change will probably have difficulties in receiving modern cell phones, thus affecting its international business.
According to the norms of this universal model of charger, cell phone manufacturers have 2 years to adapt to this change and only market devices that have a USB Type-C port.
This measure will help save money, since the individual will not need to change chargers if he changes cell phone brand and will also reduce the electronic waste generated in this situation of discarding the charger.
