Yeah, I saw that but just was wondering whether the comments that it’ll hinder innovation are correct?
Edit. If the EU implement it I guess that there’s a good chance that it’ll happen here anyway. [Post edited 4 Oct 2022 18:23]

The only innovations apple is interested in are new tax-dodging innovations.
Apple is a tax-dodging company that makes phones as a sideline.
Allegedly |  |

Apple already have usb c for the majority of their iPad and this has been coming for ages. I think a universal charger makes sense from a waste perspective. You can innovate using the USB C cable if you can be arsed. |  | | |

About time. Almost worth moving to an EU state for. Ah… |  |

The only argument I've seen against it is potentially stifling innovation at a later point. The industry moving towards standard connectors is a good thing, but you could run the risk when USB C no longer cuts the mustard of having necessary changes stuck in government regulatory purgatory and slowing things down.
It's annoying because USB is defined by a working group of many large tech companies (including Apple) and while it is is still a minefield of specs, the connectors were all highly compatible. It's Apple's insistence on being different that's caused this regulation to occur. If they'd gone along with a agreed standard, this would have been so much simpler. |  | | |

If they implement this change for the EU, they'll likely roll it out globally. | | | |

The UK will still be able to produce devices with serial and parallel ports and VGA connectors.... |  |

It won't hinder innovation at all, at least not in any meaningful way. It will help to reduce the criminal waste of disposal of perfectly serviceable old cables.
Up the EU! |  |

TL;DR - It won't.
It's a good idea. USB-C is already powerful enough to power way more than phones and transfer incredible amounts of data. Potentially, long in the future, we may need something more powerful. |  |
