Who can imagine that something better then USB-C will ever come along though? Apparently not the people passing this law.

  This is what I find most short-sighted about this. I swear the typical connectors I use for electronics have changed several times over the last decade alone (mini USB, micro USB, USB-C). The idea that innovation in this space is done seems optimistic to me. So now every few years do we just need to hope the EU will update it's laws in a timely manner so we can get better connectors for our electronics?

    You do know that the reason we were using micro-USB for everything instead of a hodgepodge of proprietary connectors ie because of the same EU body bringing the hammer down that is now also mandating USB-C?

      How many times in one thread does this falsehood need to be debunked exactly?

        Until people stop posting the falsehood.

          How is it a falsehood? The EU was threatening to enforce micro-usb unless the companies get their shit together. They did, so the EU didn't have to, then.

            A threat is not a mandate. So, it’s a falsehood.

              Why don't you read my statement again, I said nothing about mandate in the case of micro USB.
