Alternative history: EU actually makes micro-B mandatory back in 2009, and as a result USB-C never gained traction because all phones were forced by law to use micro-B.
- enragedcacti 4y agoThe regulation as written specifically accounts for advancements in standards and includes options to switch to a new mandatory port over a period of years. It also specifically mentions USB-IF as an organization to work with for such future standards. Safe to say we would probably have standardized on USB-C even sooner had they passed this law for micro-B in 2009.
