I'm unsure how this helps prevent e-waste, all it seems guaranteed to do is ensure that any existing lightning accessories need to be replaced.
If this legislation was 10 years earlier everything in the EU would be using micro/mini-usb today - and usb-c would not be an option without new legislation.
- EMIRELADERO 4y agoThe law doesn't specify USB-C. It just says that the big players need to sit together at a table and set one standard for all. There's a mandatory time period in which they will have to do it again, and the cycle will continue.
- junofan 4y agoThat’s way too sensible. I’m fairly certain that’s how the old law worked, not this one.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIt wasn't how things already worked or Apple would have stopped using lightning.
