I actually love all these regulations on smartphones (mainly by the EU), like the recent USB-C standard. That one in particular makes it so much easier to share chargers around the house!
As a USA citizen, thanks EU for making our cellphone companies not be dick's.
I mean... Sure, but we've had USB-C as de facto standard for many years now. When was the last time you saw a micro USB phone?
USB-C is standard for Android devices, but Apple devices still use lightning.
I know, but the person I was replying to made it sound like EU regulation is to thank for Android devices having USB-C
I don't want to brag but my 5 yo phone is micro USB. B)
Couldn't agree more, two years ago I was gifted a small wireless speaker which works fine and everything but I sometimes even forget to charge it because its cable is a 15cm short USB-A to Micro-USB one which somehow is the only Micro-USB cable I have left at home as I didn't have any other device with that port in years and I had thrown away a few cables when I last moved. Now whenever I am looking for a new electronic device USB-C is one of the first things I check and it's a deal breaker for me.
