The world became a better place when the European Union (EU) passed a law requiring all mobile phones, tablets, cameras, and some other devices sold in the EU to support USB Type-C.
The law wasn’t meant to tell companies like Apple how to innovate but to address the accumulating amount of electronic waste in Europe (and everywhere else). I recently moved, and I was shocked at how many power bricks I had accumulated. For decades, my phones and other devices all came with unique power adapters, plus I had them for home and car. Today, most of them are junk.
