The EU has given all phone manufacturers a deadline of the 28th December 2024 to adapt a common charging cable. This is due to the rules changing in the EU.<\/b><\/p>\n

The EU have previously agreed to a new portable electronic devices that would have to use a type-C charging port by Autumn 2024.<\/p>\n

The new law states that phone companies should now move over to the next charging cable by December 2024.<\/p>\n
