The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, has revealed proposals to require smartphones, tablets headphones, and other electronics makers to include a standard USB-C charging connector on their products. This move is likely to impact Apple the most because the company uses its proprietary lightning connector rather than the USB-C connector adopted by most of its competitors.

The new regulation aims to reduce waste and make life simpler for customers by allowing them to charge numerous devices with a single charger. Customers will be able to purchase new smartphones without a charger as part of the proposal.

Other smartphone manufacturers, such as Samsung and Huawei, have included USB-C connectors in some of their current models, although many of their older models still retain micro-USB ports. The proposal is part of a revised Radio Equipment Directive that must be approved by the European Parliament before becoming law. Device manufacturers will have two years to comply with the new regulations if the plan is passed into law.
