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 |  |

I think a universal charger makes sense from a waste perspective. You can innovate using the USB C cable if you can be arsed. |  | |  |

Technology experts. Is this a good idea? on 19:05 - Oct 4 with 538 views | Kievthegreat | 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.... |  |

Technology experts. Is this a good idea? on 19:15 - Oct 4 with 512 views | NthQldITFC | 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! |  |

Technology experts. Is this a good idea? on 19:34 - Oct 4 with 475 views | DanTheMan | 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. |  |
