The European Union is engaged in an orgy of self-congratulatory back-patting for having dunked on Apple today. As expected, the EU Parliament voted to standardize mobile device charging ports in the Eurozone to USB-C.
Now, no matter where in Europe you buy your cell phone or what brand it is, you’ll be able to use the same USB-C cable to charge it.
Of course, you won’t be able to drive from breakfast to lunch without needing seventeen different a/c adaptors for the ninety-eleven wall sockets they have over there, but standardizing those wouldn’t stick a finger in the eye of a hated American tech giant.
