According to a new law passed by the EU parliament, all new smartphones, tablets and cameras will have a single standard charger in late 2024.

While most Android phones come with a USB Type-C charging port, the move will have an impact on Apple mainly. The new measure will push Apple to drop its outdated Lightning port on its iPhones for the USB-C one already used by many of its competitors.

EU policymakers say the single charger rule will simplify the life of Europeans, reduce the mountain of obsolete chargers and reduce costs for consumers.
