European MPs have voted for a law requiring all new portable devices to use the same type of charging cable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smartphones and tablets, including the Apple iPhone and iPad, would have to use a USB-C charger from 2024, while laptop manufacturers would have until 2026 to make the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
