The debate about standardizing the smartphone charger to just one model has caught people's attention. However, this topic also raised some doubts, such as “which type of cell phone would be considered the standard among all of them?”. After all, Apple devices, for example, have features that differentiate them from Samsung and Xiaomi.
The ease that this change can provide is one of the irrevocable points. This is because everyone has experienced the frustration of having a phone running low on battery and not being able to find a charger that works with the device. Being able to provide equipment compatible with all cell phones in the world would be ideal in this regard.
A proposal for legislation in the European Union encourages the regulation of the standardization of cell phone chargers. The project aims to have all devices ready to accept a charger with a USB-C port. Or, in other words, even iPhones would need to be redesigned to support this type of adapter.
According to lawmakers, one benefit of cell phone charger regulation is reducing the amount of e-waste that is being produced globally. Not to mention the consumer convenience of being able to access a charger anywhere in the world.
