As reported by Positive News, say goodbye to charger mix-ups! The EU introduces a universal charging port for phones, tablets, and cameras, aiming to reduce e-waste and make life simpler for everyone

We’ve all been there. “Can I borrow your charger?” “Sure, it’s Samsung.” “Drat, I’m Apple.”

However, such exchanges will soon be history in the EU, after the bloc pushed ahead with plans to introduce a single charging port for phones, tablets and cameras.

The EU said it would reduce e-waste and save people money as they will no longer need to change chargers every time they switch phones.

Apple, which will be forced to adopt the USB-C charging port, said the move would stifle innovation.
