On August 14, Reuters quoted the informed person pointed out that the European Commission will legislation in September, and unified charging specifications for mobile phones and other electronic devices in September.

Since the mainstream is currently charging specifications of mobile devices, such as most Android devices and iPad pro, iPad Air, etc., the impact on Apple will be greater than their competitors. iPhone and most Apple products use the lightning interface, and Android uses the Type-C interface.

If the legislation is completed, the iPhone may be forced to use USB-C.

The EU Committee's impact assessment in 2019 found that half of the charger sold with the EU and mobile phone in 2018 has a USB Micro-B interface, while 29% have a USB-C interface, 21% is a lightning interface.

Informed people said that the European Commission is currently drafting bills, but not more details are available. The European Parliament legislators support unified charging specifications with an overwhelming vote last year, and the reason is to consider environmental efficiency and user convenience.
