EU Sets December 28, 2024, Deadline For All New Phones To Use USB-C for Wired Charging

Thursday December 8, 2022. 06:20 PM , from Slashdot
We finally have a final official deadline for when new phones sold in the European Union -- including future iPhones -- will have to use USB-C for wired charging: December 28th, 2024. From a report: That's because the EU's new USB-C legislation has just been published in the bloc's Official Journal, making it formally binding. Now we know the rules will officially enter into force in 20 days' time, and individual EU member states will then have a maximum of 24 months to apply them as national law. The date is more or less in line with previous forecasts from politicians, but until now, the exact date has remained vague given the number of stages each piece of EU legislation has to go through. When lawmakers reached an initial agreement on the legislation in June, they announced it would be applicable in 'autumn 2024,' but in October, a press release said the rules would apply 'by the end of 2024.'
