Yes, I agree with the proposed regulation…?

I'd be interested to see an actual proposed improvement that isn't just "we changed the plug so you have to buy new cables (from us)!" or "we made charging 80% less efficient!".

But so far there has been no meaningful improvement in the last… 20 years or so, and an awful lot of new incompatible standards.

Do you really think there have been no meaningful improvements in charging connectors in the last 20 years?


Yes. The one improvement that has happened has been the advent of fast chargers… but that has always been rolled out as a backwards-compatible upgrade that is negotiated between the phone, charger, and cable.
