As we all know, after the iPhone 5 was released in 2012, Apple began to adopt the new Lightning interface.
Until now, the iPhone still maintains such an interface! Even in recent years, for the sake of "environmental protection", the attached charger has been canceled, and the data cable has been changed to Type-C To Lightning.
Recently, the European Commission has made the following proposals for the common 3C electronic products:
It is recommended to use USB-C, which is the Type-C interface of the current Android camp, as a universal charging interface. And the hardware products involved include mobile phones, tablets, cameras, headphones, speakers, game consoles, etc.
It can be said that it almost covers all the devices in the 3C electronic field of current mass users.
This kind of regulation has nothing to do with the brand or personal preference. Because every industry should formulate its own corresponding criteria, just like Bluetooth and WIFI technology—they all have industry standards and specifications that are universal throughout the world.
From Android phones, laptops, headphones to power bank, and even to electric toothbrushes—more and more electronic devices are using Type-C charging interfaces.
The unified interface standard can greatly improve the convenience of users’ charging, and can also reduce the number of charging lines and charging heads, so as to reduce the waste of resources. (This is the really environmental protection!)
At the same time, the European Commission also proposed to unify the fast charging standards for devices. And this time, the direction is right.
This proposal will give each industry a two-year buffer period after the legislation is passed, and then it will be implemented.
