EP rapporteur wants standard plug for more devices

The European Parliament’s rapporteur, Alex Agius Saliba, wants to mandate a uniform charging port for additional devices. The EU Commission had proposed obliging manufacturers of cell phones, tablets, digital cameras, and portable speakers, among others, to install a uniform charging cable connection in USB-C format. In his draft report, Agius Saliba (S&D) now proposes including e-readers, smartwatches, and in-ear headphones in the directive.
