No more Apple chargers in the EU?
It’s crunch time for cables in the EU, soon you won’t need to scramble through cables to find the right charger for your device
The European Union has provisionally agreed new portable electronic devices must use a USB Type-C charger.
This is set to commence by autumn 2024.
But under the current post-Brexit arrangements, the EU ruling would apply to Northern Ireland, EU and UK officials.
Apple products such as iPhones and iPads will have to conform to the new regulation, as will, eventually laptop computers.
The agreement will be brought before the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers after their summer recesses, where it can be formally approved and then published.
