EU rules to force USB-C charges for all phones

New Delhi: Manufacturers will be forced to create a universal charging solution for phones and small electronic devices, under a new rule proposed by the European Commission (EC).

The aim is to reduce waste by encouraging consumers to re-use existing chargers when buying a new device.All smartphones sold in the EU must have USB-C chargers, the proposal said.

Apple has warned such a move would harm innovation.
