A bill for phones using a common cable standard has been passed, iPhone is about to use USB-C cable?

Over the weekend, EU lawmakers finished voting on a bill to impose joint connectivity standards for phones sold in Europe. The voting result of this meeting is 582 votes for and only 40 votes against.

According to information from the European Parliament, this draft law will be applied to EU countries by July 2020 this.

In order to apply common connectivity standards for devices manufactured and sold in Europe, for more than a decade, the European Union has tried hard to convince smartphone manufacturers.

The content of the meeting did not mention which common connection standards will be applied to technology devices. However, it is predicted that the USB-C standard with popularity over time will be selected.

This decision of the European Parliament will make Apple seriously affected. Currently, Apple is still using its own Lightning standard developed for the iPhone, while other smartphone companies have been gradually transitioning to USB-C.

Earlier, Apple had objected to the European Union's choice of a common cable standard. The tech giant said that it will make innovation affected. Compared to helping consumers not have to buy new accessories every time they change their phones, choosing a generic cable standard is more harmful to them.
